description: 'Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) is a public research university in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, founded in 1990
  and ranked #266 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UPF operates no developer portal and publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI
  or SDK of its own; a re-profile on 2026-09-01 probed every candidate host and found none. What it does operate, verified
  live, is the UPF Digital Repository (e-Repositori) at repositori.upf.edu — self-hosted on UPF''s own domain running DSpace
  7.6.8, whose REST/HAL API answers at /server/api with 67 link relations over 78 communities, 1,022 collections and 43,503
  discoverable objects, and whose OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint answers verb=Identify at repositori-api.upf.edu with 13 metadata formats
  and 100 sets. The repository, the host and the content are UPF''s; the API contract is the DSpace project''s generic open-source
  one and is deliberately not saved here. The same host runs a real Shibboleth SP — the REST API returns WWW-Authenticate:
  shibboleth with a Shibboleth.sso/Login location — and UPF''s own SAML 2.0 Identity Provider is registered in eduGAIN through
  RedIRIS SIR, the Spanish national research and education federation, as entityID https://www.rediris.es/sir/upfidp with
  shibmd:Scope upf.edu, Sirtfi asserted and the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category. UPF is a Crossref member
  (member 14960, DOI prefix 10.31009, 1,593 DOIs) and holds ROR 04n0g0b29; it has no DataCite client of its own. The "UPF
  en Xifres 2.0" linked open data portal that the June 2026 profile was built around — a CKAN action API and a Virtuoso SPARQL
  endpoint at data.upf.edu — no longer exists: data.upf.edu returns an authoritative NXDOMAIN from UPF''s own nameservers,
  and both entries have been removed. Most other UPF software is published by research groups, above all the Music Technology
  Group on GitHub, rather than as institutional APIs.'

  reason: covered
  detail: 'UPF operates no developer portal and publishes no specification of its own, but this is not a blank profile: a
    2026-09-01 re-probe confirmed two institution-operated machine-readable surfaces on upf.edu (the e-Repositori DSpace 7.6.8
    REST/HAL API and its OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint), a deployed Shibboleth SP on the same host, one federation identity in eduGAIN
    via RedIRIS SIR, two identifier-registry memberships (Crossref member 14960 / prefix 10.31009, ROR 04n0g0b29), and one
    vendor tenancy behind an institution hostname (guiesbibtic.upf.edu CNAMEs to secure-eu.libguides.com, Springshare). The
    June 2026 profile was built around the "UPF en Xifres 2.0" open data portal — a CKAN action API and a Virtuoso SPARQL
    endpoint at data.upf.edu. That host is gone: an authoritative NXDOMAIN from UPF''s own nameservers (ns1-ns6.upf.edu),
    reproduced against 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1. The June profile had already observed HTTP 000 and excused it as "geo/firewall
    restrictions", cataloging the portal from documentation rather than a live probe; both API entries and the DeveloperPortal
    pointer have now been removed as dead. No course catalog, timetable, registrar, library discovery, research-computing
    or campus-life API was found on any upf.edu host: apis./developer./developers./opendata./dades./sso./idp./adas./guiadocent./
    horaris./biblioteca./cataleg./discovery./portal.upf.edu all NXDOMAIN, and api.upf.edu resolves to 84.89.128.15 but resets
    the TLS connection on every request. www.upf.edu, including /llms.txt, /robots.txt, /web/transparencia and /web/upeq/open-data,
    returns HTTP 403 from a Cloudflare bot challenge to curl with full browser headers and to WebFetch alike — live but unreadable
    by us, which is a finding about the edge, not about UPF. repositori.upf.edu /llms.txt returns a 200 that is an Anubis
    bot-check interstitial, not an llms.txt, so no AgentDirectives pointer is emitted.'
