UCL Research Data Repository (Figshare tenancy) is one of 6 APIs that [UCL](https://apis.io/providers/ucl/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Data, Repository, Figshare, Open Data, and DOI. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The UCL Research Data Repository is UCL's institutional data repository, used to deposit, archive, publish and mint DOIs for research datasets. The data, the curation policy and the DOI prefix (10.5522, registered to UCL as DataCite client BL.UCLD) are UCL's. The platform is not: rdr.ucl.ac.uk CNAMEs directly to figshare.com, re3data records softwareName=figshare, and UCL's holdings are addressed on Figshare's shared host as api.figshare.com/v2/articles?institution=549 and api.figshare.com/v2/oai?set=portal_549. Figshare's contract is deliberately NOT saved under this institution — it is one document that 25 universities in this catalog were previously credited with authoring. The tenancy itself is recorded here because it is a real institutional fact and one of UCL's few remaining programmable surfaces.
