NTHU Research Portal (Esploro tenant) is one of 4 APIs that [National Tsing Hua University](https://apis.io/providers/nthu/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, and Scholarly Communication.

NTHU's institutional research repository and researcher-profile portal, running on Ex Libris Esploro. The former institutional repository host nthur.lib.nthu.edu.tw now redirects here. An OAI-PMH service is deployed and addressable at /view/oai/886UST_NTHU/request, but harvesting is switched off — a verb=Identify request returns HTTP 403 with OAI error code 21, "Unauthorized access to the OAI services". The portal itself serves an SPA shell to non-browser clients, so nothing on it is machine-readable from outside.
