Sydney eScholarship Repository (institutional repository, OAI-PMH) is one of 7 APIs that [University of Sydney](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-sydney/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, DataCite, DSpace, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Sydney eScholarship is the university's own institutional repository, running on the university-owned usyd.edu.au domain (usyd.edu.au redirects to www.sydney.edu.au). It is a registered DataCite repository client — ARDCX.USYD, "Sydney eScholarship", registered 2020, 2,146 DOIs minted, administered from @sydney.edu.au addresses — which settles the operator question as the institution rather than a vendor. It documents a standard OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface at /oai/request, but on 2026-08-19 that endpoint and every other path on the host returned HTTP 403 behind Cloudflare bot management to default, browser and XML-accepting clients alike; robots.txt on the same host returned 200 and permits /handle/2123/ with a 30-second crawl delay, so the host is live and bot-blocked, not dead. OAI-PMH conformance is therefore recorded as claimed and unverified.
