NCKU Library discovery (Ex Libris Primo VE tenancy) is one of 4 APIs that [National Cheng Kung University](https://apis.io/providers/ncku/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Primo, Alma, Ex Libris, and Discovery.

NCKU Library's catalog and discovery layer runs on Ex Libris Primo VE backed by Alma, under the NCKU tenant view 886NCKU_INST. The search interface is a Primo Angular application (primoExploreRoot) served from ncku.primo.exlibrisgroup.com and returns 200 to an anonymous request. The collection, the holdings and the course reserves are NCKU's; the contract, the platform and the API surface are Ex Libris's, and no Ex Libris specification is saved under NCKU's name. No NCKU-specific Primo/Alma developer documentation, API key program or published REST base URL was found. NCKU also runs a RapidILL interlibrary loan service at rapidill.lib.ncku.edu.tw, a second Ex Libris tenancy.
