University of Bath

aid: university-of-bath
name: University of Bath
description: 'The University of Bath is a public research university in Bath, United Kingdom, ranked #150 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is centered on scholarly metadata rather than
  a commercial developer program: an Elsevier Pure research portal exposing an OAI-PMH interface, an EPrints 3.4 Research
  Data Archive with OAI-PMH and a REST interface, and an Ex Libris Alma/Primo library discovery platform. The University operates
  an Azure API Management developer portal, but the publicly reachable instance is a non-production ("test") environment with
  no openly documented production APIs. Administrative and identity services are gated behind institutional affiliation.'
