Canterbury Figshare Research Data Repository (tenant)

canterbury.figshare.com is the University of Canterbury's institutional research data repository, a tenancy on Figshare's platform. The data, the DOIs and the curation are the institution's; the API contract is Figshare's and is served from the shared vendor host api.figshare.com/v2, which every Figshare customer calls. This entry replaces eleven entries added on 2026-06-03 that were a single Figshare API v2 OpenAPI split by tag (altmetric, articles, authors, collections, institutions, oauth, other, profiles, projects, symplectic) and misattributed to this institution; that contract and everything derived from it has been removed from this repository. Probed 2026-08-30: canterbury.figshare.com and its /oai path both return HTTP 202 with an empty body — a bot-management challenge, so the tenancy is live but not readable by us.
