University of Adelaide

aid: university-of-adelaide
name: University of Adelaide
description: 'The University of Adelaide is a public research university in Adelaide, South Australia, founded in 1874, and
  ranked #72 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, developer-facing footprint is centered on open scholarly
  infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal: the "Adelaide Research & Scholarship" institutional repository runs
  on DSpace 7.6.1 and exposes both a REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata endpoint, and the university operates an Adelaide Figshare
  research-data instance backed by the shared Figshare public API and OAI-PMH. Authentication is handled by a CAS-based single
  sign-on, and the institution maintains a public GitHub organization built largely around its Drupal "Shepherd" site-management
  platform. No consolidated, self-service public API developer portal was found.'
