Autonomous University of Barcelona

The Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) is a public research university in Bellaterra, Catalonia, founded in 1968. Unusually for this cohort, its programmable footprint is real and is genuinely its own. UAB runs four OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints on its own RIPE allocation — the Dipòsit Digital de Documents (ddd.uab.cat, 221,931 records, 18 sets, oai_dc / marcxml / edm / oai_openaire), the Traces database of Catalan language and literature, the IFMuC inventory of Catalan music collections, and per-journal endpoints on its self-hosted OJS platform at revistes.uab.cat — and an Invenio search interface that exports MARC21 XML, Dublin Core and BibTeX without a key. It self-publishes a complete SAML 2.0 IdP EntityDescriptor from its own Apereo CAS server at sso.uab.cat, which is the one institution-published machine-readable contract here, and it reaches eduGAIN through the Spanish federation SIR, whose UAB entity is operated on RedIRIS's gateway rather than UAB's. UAB is a Crossref member in its own name (member 3612, prefix 10.5565, 23,089 DOIs) and holds ROR 052g8jq94. What it does not have is a developer programme: no OpenAPI is published for anything, api.uab.cat, data.uab.cat and opendata.uab.cat do not resolve, there is no API-key or OAuth path, no institutional GitHub organisation was found, and www.uab.cat has no llms.txt. Research data is a tenant relationship, not a UAB contract: the 567 datasets in UAB's named collection live on the CSUC-operated CORA Repositori de Dades de Recerca and carry CSUC's DataCite prefix.

Autonomous University of Barcelona publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: DDD — Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UAB (OAI-PMH 2.0) and DDD Invenio Search and Export Interface. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Spain, and Catalonia.

The Autonomous University of Barcelona catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Autonomous University of Barcelona’s developer surface includes documentation, code examples, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/uab: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: 'Eight institution-operated surfaces were confirmed live and confirmed UAB-owned by IP, not by hostname: ddd, traces
    and ifmuc all CNAME to mompou.uab.cat at 158.109.2.47, revistes at 158.109.174.224 and sso at 158.109.121.62, every one
    of them inside 158.109.0.0/16 — RIPE netname XIUAB, "Xarxa Informatica de la Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona". Four
    OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints answered real verbs, an Invenio search interface exported MARC21 and Dublin Core without a key,
    and UAB self-published a full SAML 2.0 IdP EntityDescriptor from its own CAS server. Evidenced education-regime conformance:
    oai-pmh, saml, shibboleth and crossref as institution-operated, datacite as tenant.

    No specification is published by UAB for any of it. The OpenAPI in openapi/ is DERIVED by API Evangelist from live probes
    and is marked method: derived throughout — it must not be read as a UAB contract. There is no developer programme of any
    kind: no API keys, no OAuth authorization server (CAS''s OIDC module returns 404 on both discovery paths and on /cas/oidc/jwks),
    no registration, no institutional GitHub organisation, and no llms.txt. api.uab.cat, data.uab.cat, opendata.uab.cat, dades.uab.cat,
    idp.uab.cat and cataleg.uab.cat do not resolve at all.

    Three surfaces are real institutional facts on infrastructure UAB does not run and are recorded as such rather than deleted:
    the CORA research-data collection on CSUC''s Dataverse (84.88.27.173, CESCANET / CSUC Services), the SIR federation entity
    whose endpoints all terminate on sir.rediris.es (130.206.13.20, REDIRIS), and the Crossref and ROR registrations. The
    OJS journal platform is the shared-contract case: UAB runs the instance on its own hardware, so the deployment is recorded
    as institution, while PKP''s generic REST contract is not saved here.

    Two corrections to the June 2026 profile. The CORA entry''s only pointer, www.uab.cat/web/research/open-access-uab/open-access-data-1345704463199.html,
    returns HTTP 200 with a body byte-identical to UAB''s 404 page — a soft-404 that had been reading as a live claim; it
    is removed and replaced with the verified Catalan open science page. And the profile previously asserted that UAB had
    no confirmed institutional identity surface; it has two, one of which it publishes itself.

    Searching in Catalan was load-bearing. The AI policy exists only as uab.cat/ca/etica-recerca/artificial, where UAB''s
    research ethics committee subscribes to the EU ALTAI trustworthy-AI self-assessment; the Traces and IFMuC repositories
    were found only through DDD''s own OAI-PMH friends declaration; and UAB''s eduGAIN entity is findable only by its RedIRIS-namespaced
    entityID and its Catalan display name, since every "uab" host in eduGAIN belongs to Alabama-Birmingham or Universidade
    Aberta.'
