University of Sussex Research Data Repository (Figshare tenant) is one of 5 APIs that [University of Sussex](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-sussex/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, Research Data, Open Access, Figshare, and DataCite. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference.

Sussex's institutional research repository, a Figshare tenant at sussex.figshare.com (CNAME to figshare.com). The relationship is independently confirmed by DataCite, where the university is a member provider (OTZZ) operating one repository client, FIGSHARE.SUSSEX, bound to the domain sussex.figshare.com. The data and the DOIs are Sussex's; the API is Figshare's generic v2 contract. Ten copies of that contract were previously stored in this repository under Sussex's name — the same document eleven other institutions also shipped — and have been removed. The tenant host itself is behind an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202) and could not be probed on 2026-08-30; that is a blocked probe, not a dead host.
