Aarhus University

aid: aarhus
name: Aarhus University
description: 'Aarhus University (Aarhus Universitet) is a public research university in Aarhus, Denmark, founded in 1928 and
  ranked #144 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a unified, public developer portal. Its most concrete
  machine-readable footprint is the Pure research information portal (pure.au.dk), which exposes a Pure web-service / REST
  API (gated, it returns HTTP 401 without credentials) and an OAI-PMH metadata service for research outputs. Student-facing
  systems (mitstudie.au.dk / STADS course catalog, timetables with iCal export) are web and feed based rather than documented
  open APIs, and most code activity lives in departmental GitHub organizations such as cs-au-dk rather than a central program.'

  name: Pure OAI-PMH Metadata Service
  description: OAI-PMH metadata harvesting service for the Aarhus University Pure research portal, used to expose and harvest
    research-output metadata. The service path resolves but the Identify verb returned a server error during review, so endpoint
    behavior should be re-verified before relying on it.
