description: 'The University of Birmingham is a public research university in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and a founding member
  of the Russell Group, ranked #94 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is limited
  and decentralized: there is no central developer portal or published API program. Confirmed machine-readable interfaces
  are concentrated in the library/research-repository ecosystem (EPrints-based repositories exposing OAI-PMH endpoints) plus
  a small open research API from the English Constructicon linguistics project. The institutional GitHub organization exists
  but currently exposes no public repositories.'
