Elsevier Pure CRIS tenancy (REST + OAI-PMH) is one of 5 APIs that [University of Manchester](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-manchester/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research, CRIS, Pure, OAI-PMH, and Repository. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The University's tenancy of Elsevier Pure, its Current Research Information System, reached at pure.manchester.ac.uk and surfaced publicly as Research Explorer at research.manchester.ac.uk. Both hostnames CNAME to uom-aws.elsevierpure.com. The OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint is live and fully functional — Identify returns repositoryName 'Pure OAI Repository' with adminEmail Pure@manchester.ac.uk and an earliest datestamp of 2016-03-17, ListMetadataFormats offers seven formats including oai_cerif_openaire and uketd_dc, and ListRecords returns real batches. The REST API is documented at /ws/api and gated by an api-key header. All of that is Manchester's data and Manchester's administration on Elsevier's platform under Elsevier's contract: the specification declares info.title 'Pure API', info.contact.email pure-support@elsevier.com and info.version 5.35.2-2, with a relative servers[] entry naming no institution at all. Recorded here as a tenant relationship. The specification itself is not held under this slug.
