DataCite repository membership (BL.LPOOL) is one of 14 APIs that [University of Liverpool](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-liverpool/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Registry, DataCite, DOI, Persistent Identifiers, and Research Data.

The University of Liverpool is a DataCite repository member and has been since 2015. Verified 2026-09-01: https://api.datacite.org/clients/bl.lpool returns 200 with name "University of Liverpool", symbol BL.LPOOL, clientType repository, created 2015-04-29 and declared domains liv.ac.uk, liverpool.ac.uk, datacat.liverpool.ac.uk and livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk. One DOI prefix, 10.17638, is bound to the client, and 16,405 DOIs are registered under it — the first of which, 10.17638/03200178, resolves to https://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/id/eprint/3200178, i.e. into the institution's own repository rather than a vendor host. This is a fact about the institution recorded through a shared registry; DataCite's own contract is not saved here.
