Research Repository UCD — DSpace-CRIS REST API (4Science) is one of 6 APIs that [University College Dublin](https://apis.io/providers/ucd/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Repository, DSpace, Tenant, Research, and Ireland.

A live DSpace-CRIS 7.6.1 HAL REST API on UCD's branded repository host, advertising roughly ninety link relations including items, collections, communities, discover, authn, oidc, orcidqueues, orcidhistories, versions and usagereports. The DATA is UCD's; the CONTRACT is DSpace's and 4Science's. No specification for it is saved in this repository, and none should be — it would credit UCD with a vendor's engineering and would be the same document every other 4Science institution ships. Recorded here because the tenant relationship is a real institutional fact. PROBING NOTE: the repository's human-facing Angular UI is behind a bot challenge — every HTML path, including the site root and item handle pages, returns HTTP 405 with a "Human Verification" body to scripted clients. That is bot-blocked, not dead; the /server/api and /server/oai paths answer normally.
