Tagged areas include Repository, OAI-PMH, Research, Open Access, and Metadata. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

OUR Archive (Otago University Research Archive) is the University of Otago institutional research repository, now hosted on Ex Libris / Clarivate Esploro. It exposes an OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) endpoint following the standard Esploro pattern at /view/oai/64OTAGO_INST/request. The endpoint resolves and returns valid OAI XML, but at the time of review it returned OAI error_code 21 ("Unauthorized access to the OAI services"), indicating public harvesting is not currently enabled. Listed as the repository's standards-based metadata interface; confirm authorization with the library before relying on it.
