University of Texas at Austin

Texas ScholarWorks DSpace REST API

Public DSpace REST API for Texas ScholarWorks, the UT Libraries institutional repository of theses, dissertations, faculty research and open-access scholarship. The root document reports dspaceName "DSpace at UT Austin" and dspaceVersion "DSpace 9.4-SNAPSHOT" (this repo previously recorded DSpace 8), and exposes HAL+JSON resources for communities, collections, items, bundles and bitstreams. Anonymous read returns HTTP 200; authenticated access is advertised over Shibboleth SSO and DSpace password login in the WWW-Authenticate header. The software is DSpace's, but the deployment, the host and the content are UT Austin's. Verified live (HTTP 200) on 2026-08-30.
