# Yale Dataverse Repository API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/yale/dataverse/  
**Provider:** Yale University — https://apis.io/providers/yale/  
**Base URL:** https://dataverse.yale.edu  
**Documentation:** https://dataverse.yale.edu/

Yale Dataverse Repository API is one of 13 APIs that [Yale University](https://apis.io/providers/yale/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research Data, Research Repository, Dataverse, Open Data, and DataCite. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Yale University's institutional research-data repository, self-hosted on Yale's own AWS infrastructure under Yale's registrable domain, running open-source Dataverse 6.10.1 with 279 published datasets across sub-dataverses including the ISPS Data Archive. Published content reads anonymously; deposit requires a NetID-bound API token. Yale mints DOIs under its own DataCite prefix 10.60600, and those DOIs resolve back to dataverse.yale.edu. OPERATOR NOTE. The Dataverse software generates a complete OpenAPI document at dataverse.yale.edu/openapi. That document is titled "Dataverse API", describes "Open source research data repository software", and is identical on every Dataverse installation worldwide — it is the software project's contract, not Yale's engineering, and it is deliberately not saved here. The contract in openapi/ describes only endpoints actually called against Yale's deployment, with Yale's server URL. Yale operates the deployment and owns the data; IQSS at Harvard authored the API design.
