Natural History Museum of Denmark Darwin Core Archive Feeds is one of 8 APIs that [University of Copenhagen](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-copenhagen/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Open Data, Biodiversity, Darwin Core, GBIF, and Institution-Operated. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Natural History Museum of Denmark, a University of Copenhagen faculty museum, publishes thirteen Darwin Core Archive exports from the Faculty of Science's own host specify-snm.science.ku.dk — entomology, mycology, ornithology, mammalogy, herpetology, ichthyology, invertebrate zoology, quaternary zoology, vertebrate palaeontology, vascular plants, biocultural botany, amber and the Danekræ collection. GBIF harvests them under publishing organization 2e7df380-8356-4533-bcb3-5459e23c794e (34 datasets in total; the remaining 21 arrive via ipt.danbif.dk and danbif.au.dk, which are not Copenhagen's infrastructure). These zips are the only bulk open-data downloads the university serves from a host it operates. The feed directory itself returns 403 to a listing request — normal for a directory of files, not a dead host; the individual archives under it return 200 application/zip.
