University of York Research Portal OAI-PMH 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, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include OAI-PMH, Research Data, Open Access, ORCID, and Metadata Harvesting. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting on the University's own registrable domain. The Identify response names the repository "The University of York", gives adminEmail pure-support@york.ac.uk and an earliest datestamp of 2014-10-14. All six verbs are live. Five metadata formats are served — mods, xmetadiss, nl_didl, oai_dc and qdc — and the MODS records carry typed ORCID iDs and DOIs. Sets cover persons, publications, publications with files, and publications by year. The deletedRecord policy is "no", so incremental harvesting cannot detect withdrawals. The underlying product is Elsevier Pure; its proprietary REST API is a separate, tenant surface and its contract is deliberately not saved here.
