Elsevier Pure Web Services (University of York tenant) is one of 8 APIs that [University of York](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-york/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Information, CRIS, Elsevier Pure, and Tenant. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Elsevier Pure REST Web Service running on the University of York's tenant host. The documentation index answers without a key and the versioned API serves a 1.1 MB OpenAPI document, but the API itself returns 401 to an unauthenticated caller and keys are issued by the institution's Pure administrators rather than self-service. This is York's research information — and Elsevier's contract. The vendor specification is deliberately NOT saved under this institution's slug; that misattribution is exactly what this pipeline exists to prevent. What IS saved is the OAI-PMH surface above, which is protocol-standard and self-identifies as the University of York.
