UQ eSpace REST API

REST API behind UQ eSpace, the institutional repository for UQ research outputs and datasets, operated on UQ's own host by UQ Library. Not callable from outside the institution: every path probed on 2026-08-30 returned HTTP 403 "Request blocked" from CloudFront. No contract is saved here because none could be fetched or verified — the interface is legible only through UQ Library's own front-end source. UQ publishes no OpenAPI for it.
