University of Liverpool

aid: university-of-liverpool
name: University of Liverpool
description: 'The University of Liverpool is a public research university in Liverpool, United Kingdom, a founding member
  of the Russell Group, ranked #165 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint
  is centered on scholarly and research-data infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal: the EPrints-based University
  of Liverpool Repository and the DataCat research data catalogue both expose live OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interfaces.
  No general-purpose public API developer portal, course/timetable API, or self-service API key program was found to be publicly
  documented at the time of review; most institutional systems (SSO/IdP, student administration, mobile backends) sit behind
  authentication and are not publicly cataloged.'
