DataCite repository registration (UNIL data service) is one of 9 APIs that [University of Lausanne](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-lausanne/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include DataCite, DOI, and Research Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes sample payloads.

UNIL's membership of the DataCite DOI registry, not DataCite's contract. api.datacite.org/clients?query=unil returns client PWKB.PGDJAM, name "Old DOIs Unil", clientType repository, created 2025-12-12, administered under consortium organisation PWKB (FORS — Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences, https://ror.org/00weppy16). DOIs minted under it carry prefix 10.48657 and publisher "UNIL data service" (for example 10.48657/mc4b-0958, 10.48657/3499-cq82). Recorded as a fact about the institution; the registry's own specification belongs to DataCite's repo, never to UNIL's.
