USC Figshare Research Repository (Tenant) is one of 8 APIs that [University of Southern California](https://apis.io/providers/usc/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, Research Data, Figshare, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

USC Libraries offers Figshare to USC researchers as its data-output repository for datasets, posters and presentations, at the institution-specific tenant usc.figshare.com. Probed 2026-08-30 the host answers 202 behind an AWS WAF JavaScript challenge (window.awsWafCookie), which is a block on automated clients rather than an absence — the tenant is live. Recorded as a relationship only. No Figshare specification is saved under USC: api.figshare.com/v2 is the generic vendor contract every Figshare customer shares, and attributing it to an institution is precisely the misattribution this profile exists to avoid — one Figshare contract was previously credited to twenty-five universities across this cohort. The data and the DOIs are USC's; the contract is Figshare's and belongs in Figshare's own repo.
