Illinois Data Bank Dataset Metadata is one of 8 APIs that [University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-illinois-urbana-champaign/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Data, Open Data, DataCite, ORCID, and Repository. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The campus research data repository, built and run in-house by the University Library (github.com/medusa-project/databank, Ruby on Rails) rather than bought from Figshare, Dryad or Dataverse — which makes it one of the few genuinely institution-ENGINEERED research repositories in this cohort. Its catalog is machine-readable without authentication: /datasets.json returns all 1,259 released datasets with identifier, subject, publication and hold state, timestamps, citation and a per-dataset JSON URL. As a registered DataCite repository (client illinois.databank, member since 2018) it has minted 1,306 DOIs under prefix 10.13012, 1,082 of which carry ORCID creator identifiers. There is no published API reference, no OAI-PMH endpoint on this host, and /api/* is a soft-404.
