# DataCite Membership — NYCU Research Data Service

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/nycu/datacite/

**Documentation:** https://commons.datacite.org/repositories/gtfe.kagikv

DataCite Membership — NYCU Research Data Service is one of 8 APIs that [National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University](https://apis.io/providers/nycu/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include DataCite, DOI, Persistent Identifiers, and Research Data.

NYCU is a DataCite direct member in its own name — provider gtfe — and operates the DataCite repository client gtfe.kagikv, "NYCU Research Data Service", minting DOIs on prefix 10.57770. A registry membership is a fact about the institution, not a misattributed contract: the membership is recorded, DataCite's own API contract is not saved here. 290 NYCU datasets currently carry 10.57770 DOIs. The DataCite Commons human page rate-limits automated probes (429 on three consecutive attempts, 2026-09-01); it is a bot challenge, not a dead pointer — the two api.datacite.org properties below both return 200.
