University of Auckland

ResearchSpace DSpace REST API

The HAL+JSON REST API of the University's self-hosted DSpace 7 instance. /server/api/core/communities returns the live community tree (A1 Research Outputs Online and its siblings) anonymously as application/hal+json; /server/api itself is blocked at the edge and /server/api/config/properties returns 405, so the surface is partially open rather than uniformly public. Recorded as an institution-operated surface; the contract belongs to DSpace.

name: ResearchSpace DSpace REST API
x-operator: institution
x-operator-evidence: Self-hosted open-source software on the University's own infrastructure and domain.
  The contract shape is upstream DSpace's, not Auckland engineering, so no specification is saved here
  - saving a generic DSpace spec under an institution's slug is exactly the misattribution this profile
  exists to prevent.
