# Knowledge@UChicago Repository REST API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/university-of-chicago/knowledge-invenio-rest/  
**Provider:** University of Chicago — https://apis.io/providers/university-of-chicago/  
**Base URL:** https://knowledge.uchicago.edu/api  
**Documentation:** https://knowledge.uchicago.edu/

Knowledge@UChicago Repository REST API is one of 44 APIs that [University of Chicago](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-chicago/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research Repository, InvenioRDM, DataCite, ORCID, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and an API reference.

Knowledge@UChicago is the University's institutional repository, running self-hosted InvenioRDM 13.1 on the institution's own domain. Its REST API returns records, communities and files as JSON, with DataCite DOIs minted under the 10.6082 prefix and creator identifiers typed by scheme (orcid, ror, isni). The institution runs the software rather than renting a vendor tenancy, so this is an institution-operated surface, not a tenant relationship. Verified live 2026-08-19, HTTP 200, application/json; a nonsense identifier returns a real HTTP 404, not a soft-404.
