# UBC Library Abacus Dataverse API **Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/ubc/abacus-dataverse/ **Provider:** University of British Columbia — https://apis.io/providers/ubc/ **Base URL:** https://abacus.library.ubc.ca **Documentation:** https://abacus.library.ubc.ca/ UBC Library Abacus Dataverse API is one of 7 APIs that [University of British Columbia](https://apis.io/providers/ubc/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 5 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Research Data, Research Repository, Dataverse, and Open Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, a JSON-LD context, authentication docs, and 5 JSON Schemas. The REST API of Abacus, UBC Library's research-data repository, running Dataverse 5.9 on UBC's own infrastructure at abacus.library.ubc.ca. UBC operates the deployment and the data is UBC's and its BC consortium partners'; the contract itself is Dataverse software's, served by the product at /openapi, and every schema, ruleset and vocabulary in this repo derived from it inherits that. Verified live 2026-08-19 at /api/info/version. This ONE surface was previously recorded as twenty-two separate APIs because the refine step splits a contract by tag — the twenty-two OpenAPI documents are kept as properties here, but they describe one API, not twenty-two. ## Machine-readable artifacts (38) -
