Figshare research data repository tenancy

aid: university-of-manchester:figshare-tenancy
name: Figshare research data repository tenancy
description: 'The University''s institutional research data repository, presented at figshare.manchester.ac.uk,
  which CNAMEs to figshare.com. Manchester''s researchers deposit here and the deposits carry Manchester''s
  branding, but the platform, the REST API and the DOI minting are Figshare''s. Probed 2026-08-19: the
  tenant host returns an AWS WAF interstitial (HTTP 202) rather than a page body — a bot challenge, which
  grades as live-and-blocked, not dead. Recorded as a tenant relationship; the generic api.figshare.com/v2
  contract that previously appeared under this slug is a vendor surface and has been removed. One Figshare
  contract was at one point attributed to twenty-five separate universities in this catalog; this entry
  exists so the relationship survives the correction without the misattribution.'
