UNC Dataverse Native REST API (Dataverse deployment)

UNC Dataverse, the Odum Institute's research data repository, runs Dataverse 6.8 and exposes the Dataverse Native REST API at /api. GET /api/info/version is keyless and returned {"version":"6.8","build":"with-mdq-bugfix"} on 2026-08-30; GET /api/search returns 401 "Only authenticated users can perform the requested operation" and needs an X-Dataverse-key token. The deployment is UNC's and the data in it is UNC's, but the contract is the Dataverse product's — identical in title, description and shape to the specs eight other institutions in this catalog ship — so no OpenAPI is stored under this profile. Thirty-six per-tag OpenAPI documents, their pristine source spec and 84 artifacts derived from them — 122 files in all — were removed from this repository on 2026-08-30 for exactly that reason. Score the contract against Dataverse's own project, not against UNC.

  is the Dataverse product's — identical in title, description and shape to the specs eight other institutions

x-operator-evidence: The host is UNC's (dataverse.unc.edu CNAME dataverse-aws.irss.unc.edu), so a hostname-only
  verdict reads `institution` — but the contract is host-independent. info.title "Dataverse API", info.description
  "Open source research data repository software" and version 6.8 are the Dataverse project's, and audit-university-contracts.py
  finds the same normalized titles shipped by harvard, maastricht, ntnu, queens-university-at-kingston
  and four others. The relationship is real and is kept; the product's spec is not.
