description: 'The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading engineering and science university in Kongens Lyngby,
  Denmark, ranked #109 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. DTU''s public developer/API footprint is research- and metadata-oriented
  rather than a unified developer program: its DTU Data research repository is built on the Figshare platform and exposes
  the open Figshare REST API (institution id 379), and the DTU Orbit research database runs on Elsevier Pure. DTU also maintains
  a public GitHub organization (dtudk) hosting affiliated open-source software. Identity is handled through DTU''s federated
  SSO (Shibboleth/OCES). There is no consolidated public developer portal documenting institution-wide APIs.'

  name: DTU Orbit Research Database (Pure)
  description: DTU Orbit is DTU's research information database (publications, projects, activities, researcher and department
    profiles), built on Elsevier Pure. The public web portal is openly browsable and searchable. Pure exposes a web service
    / OAI-PMH harvesting interface, but on the public DTU Orbit host those machine endpoints currently return errors and are
    not openly documented or self-service.
