UCSF Industry Documents Library Content API

Publicly readable REST content API behind the Industry Documents Library website, exposing 320 editorial pages — collection guides, curated document sets, field-name references, dataset listings, policies and release notes — as JSON. Undocumented and unversioned by UCSF; it exists because the IDL site is a decoupled single-page application. Recorded as a real institutional surface, but no derived OpenAPI is claimed for it because UCSF publishes no contract and makes no stability commitment. Verified live 2026-08-19, returning 320 documents.

aid: ucsf:idl-content-api
name: UCSF Industry Documents Library Content API
x-operator: institution
x-operator-evidence: Payload CMS deployment operated by the UCSF Library Center for Knowledge Management
  on its own libckm.org infrastructure domain, serving the content layer of www.industrydocuments.ucsf.edu.
  The CMS software is third-party; the deployment, the content and the operation are UCSF's. The host
  is not under ucsf.edu, so this attribution rests on the CKM infrastructure evidence rather than on the
  domain test alone.
