Autonomous University of Barcelona

The Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB) is a public research university in Bellaterra, near Barcelona, Spain, founded in 1968 and ranked #175 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UAB's public, machine-accessible footprint centers on its open scholarly infrastructure rather than a formal developer portal: the Dipòsit Digital de Documents (DDD), the institutional repository built on the Invenio platform, exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata endpoint and is OpenAIRE-compliant. Research data is published through the Catalan consortium (CSUC) federated research data repository. No dedicated, publicly documented UAB developer/API program or official institutional GitHub organization was confirmed; student-facing academic services (SIA) are gated login portals without public API documentation.

Autonomous University of Barcelona publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Spain, and Catalonia.

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

    institutional repository of theses, articles, preprints, postprints, ebooks, periodicals, and other scholarly and institutional
    output. The repository runs on the Invenio platform (originally from CERN) and is certified OpenAIRE-compliant. The endpoint
    supports standard OAI-PMH verbs (Identify, ListRecords, ListSets, GetRecord) and is harvested by aggregators such as Google
    Scholar, BASE, and CORE.
