University of Adelaide

Adelaide Research & Scholarship REST API

DSpace 7.6.1 HAL/JSON REST API for the University of Adelaide institutional repository "Adelaide Research & Scholarship", exposing communities, collections, items, bundles, bitstreams, discovery search, identifiers and versioning for theses, articles and other scholarly outputs. Confirmed live 2026-08-30: the root document returns dspaceName "Adelaide Research & Scholarship", dspaceVersion "DSpace 7.6.1" and 60 link relations, and read access requires no credentials. DSpace is open-source software from LYRASIS, deployed and operated by the University on its own host rather than consumed as a hosted service, so both the host and the operation are Adelaide's. No Adelaide-specific OpenAPI is published for it and none is generated here — the DSpace REST contract belongs to the DSpace project.
