AlmaDL Journals OAI-PMH is one of 12 APIs that [University of Bologna](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-bologna/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include OAI-PMH, Open Access, Scholarly Publishing, OJS, and Journals. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

Site-wide OAI-PMH 2.0 provider over AlmaDL Journals, the university's open-access journal publishing platform, on its own host journals.unibo.it (atrproxy4.unibo.it, 137.204.24.209). Verified live 2026-09-01 — https://journals.unibo.it/index.php/index/oai?verb=Identify returns 200 text/xml with repositoryName "AlmaDL Journals", protocolVersion 2.0, adminEmail ojs@unibo.it, earliestDatestamp 2007-11-26T14:59:40Z; verb=ListSets returns 100 sets, one per journal or journal section; verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc returns real records. The platform is Open Journal Systems from the Public Knowledge Project, so the API contract is PKP's and none is saved here. The OJS REST API v1 exists on the same host and is closed to anonymous callers — /index.php/ijhb/api/v1/issues returns 403 application/json {"error":"api.403.unauthorized"} and /api/v1/contexts returns 500 — recorded in authentication/ rather than counted as callable.
