DataCite membership (provider HLQC) is one of 10 APIs that [Technical University of Darmstadt](https://apis.io/providers/technical-university-of-darmstadt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include DOI, DataCite, Persistent Identifiers, Registry, and Research Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

TU Darmstadt registers DOIs through DataCite. Verified live 2026-09-01 via api.datacite.org/providers/hlqc: provider HLQC, "Universitaets- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt", organizationType academicInstitution, memberType consortium_organization, country DE, website https://www.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de, and rorId https://ror.org/05n911h24 — TU Darmstadt's own ROR record, which is what ties this membership to the institution rather than to a lookalike. Six repository clients sit under it: TUdatalib (hlqc.znxeli), TUprints (hlqc.jslnah), TUjournals (hlqc.eesqtr), DBRepo (hlqc.covcod), NFDI4Ing-Ingest (hlqc.jckkgr) and TUdigit (tib.ulbd). DataCite's own contract is not saved here; the membership is the fact about TU Darmstadt.
