# IRIS Research Information System (CINECA tenancy)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/university-of-bologna/iris-cineca-tenancy/  
**Provider:** University of Bologna — https://apis.io/providers/university-of-bologna/  
**Base URL:** https://cris.unibo.it/oai/request  
**Documentation:** https://cris.unibo.it/

IRIS Research Information System (CINECA tenancy) 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 Research Repository, OAI-PMH, DSpace, IRIS, and CINECA. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

IRIS is the university's current research information system and publication catalogue, reachable at cris.unibo.it. The host is a vanity name on the university's domain but it is NOT university-run infrastructure — cris.unibo.it CNAMEs to unibo.prod.iris.cineca.it, then to fallback-iris-prod.cineca.it and on into Cloudflare. IRIS is DSpace-CRIS supplied to the Italian university system by CINECA, so this is recorded as a tenancy: the research metadata, the deployment identity and the DOIs are the University of Bologna's; the software and the API contract are CINECA's and belong in CINECA's own repo, not here. The tenancy is real and live — https://cris.unibo.it/oai/request?verb=Identify returns 200 with repositoryName "IRIS - UNIBO - prod", protocolVersion 2.0, adminEmail artec.valutazione@unibo.it, earliestDatestamp 2015-07-23T10:59:05Z, and verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc returns 342,926 bytes of real records. The DSpace REST API on the same host is closed — https://cris.unibo.it/rest/api returns "HTTP Status 401 - Invalid basic authentication token".
