VU Yoda research data repository is one of 7 APIs that [Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam](https://apis.io/providers/vrije-universiteit-amsterdam/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Data, Research Repository, Yoda, iRODS, and WebDAV. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

VU Amsterdam's research data management and publication platform, running at portal.yoda.vu.nl. Yoda is open-source iRODS-based software built by Utrecht University and, per its own DataCite registry record, "maintained by SURF for the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam" — an institution-specific subdomain on a platform someone else operates, which makes VU the tenant rather than the operator. The portal returns HTTP 200 and gates behind /user/gate; the WebDAV data endpoint at data.yoda.vu.nl returns HTTP 401; published datasets land at publication.yoda.vu.nl, which currently answers every request with an Anubis bot challenge. Registered with DataCite as repository client DELFT.VUDATA and actively minting — 171 DOIs as of 2026-08-30.
