University of Leeds Libraries discovery and resource management run on the Ex Libris Alma library services platform with the Primo discovery layer (migrated from Innovative Sierra). Programmatic access is available only through the vendor's Alma/Primo REST and SRU APIs, which require institution-issued keys; Leeds publishes no public developer documentation for these endpoints.
