OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: UNSWorks Repository REST Root API
  version: '7.0'
  summary: Institution-operated DSpace 7.0 REST/HAL API for the UNSW open-access institutional repository.
  description: 'UNSWorks is the University of New South Wales open-access institutional repository. It runs

    DSpace 7.0 on UNSW''s own infrastructure, under UNSW''s own registrable domain

    (unsworks.unsw.edu.au, A record 54.253.215.118 — no vendor CNAME), and is administered by the

    UNSW Library (adminEmail lib.repository.alerts@unsw.edu.au, published in the repository''s own

    OAI-PMH Identify response).


    OPERATOR: institution. The DSpace software is open source (LYRASIS); the deployment, the

    hostname, the handle prefix 1959.4 and the content are UNSW''s. This is not a vendor tenancy —

    contrast a `<institution>.figshare.com` style host, which would be `tenant`.


    PROVENANCE: UNSW publishes no OpenAPI for this surface. Every path and response below was

    derived from live, unauthenticated probes performed on 2026-08-19; nothing is inferred from

    generic DSpace documentation. Paths that returned 401 unauthenticated are documented as such

    rather than omitted, because the gate is itself the finding.

  x-operator: institution
  x-operator-evidence: Host unsworks.unsw.edu.au is under the institution's own registrable domain unsw.edu.au and resolves to a UNSW-controlled A record, not a vendor CNAME. The OAI-PMH Identify response on the same host names the repository "UNSWorks Repository" with a unsw.edu.au admin contact.
