description: 'Peking University (PKU) is a major public research university in Beijing, China, ranked #25 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its most clearly documented public, machine-readable API footprint is the Peking University Open
  Research Data Platform, a Dataverse-based research data repository operated by the PKU Library that exposes both the native
  Dataverse REST API and a live OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint. Campus identity is handled by the PKU IAAA unified
  authentication system (a CAS/SSO service), which is gated and not a public developer API. No general-purpose institutional
  developer portal was found at the time of review.'
