Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) is a private research university in Pohang, South Korea, founded in 1986 by the steelmaker POSCO and ranked #87 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. POSTECH operates a public English-language website and a range of authenticated institutional systems (PODIUM portal, PLMS learning management, admissions, and certificate services). Its primary confirmed public, machine-readable API surface is the POSTECH Library OASIS institutional repository, a DSpace platform that exposes a live OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint. No general-purpose developer portal or open-data API program was found; most other systems are login-gated.
