University of Los Andes Colombia
Universidad de los Andes (Uniandes) is a private research university in Bogota, Colombia, founded in 1948 and ranked #179 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Like most universities it is a federation of buyers rather than a producer of APIs: it publishes no developer portal, no API key programme, no OpenAPI of its own and no public API documentation of any kind. What it does operate, on its own registrable domain, is one genuinely public machine-readable surface — an OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint for the Revistas Uniandes journal portal, which answers anonymous automated clients across all six protocol verbs and serves the university's own journals. Its second institutional repository, the DSpace 7 deployment "Seneca", sits behind a bot-detection challenge that returns 403 to automated clients; an undocumented host at api.uniandes.edu.co exists but is closed by a Cloudflare WAF on every path. Beyond that, the university's programmable footprint is relationships rather than engineering: a Microsoft Entra ID tenant that is its own SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect identity provider, DOI registrations at both Crossref and DataCite, a ROR record, an OCLC CONTENTdm heritage collection and a D2L Brightspace LMS. Those are real institutional facts and are catalogued here as such, each carrying an x-operator that says who actually runs the thing — none of the vendors' contracts are attributed to Uniandes.
University of Los Andes Colombia publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Revistas Uniandes - OAI-PMH. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Colombia, and Latin America.
The University of Los Andes Colombia catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

four metadata formats are advertised (oai_dc, marcxml, oai_marc, rfc1807). The Identify response names revistas.uniandes.edu.co

its own baseURL, e.g. /index.php/res/oai for Revista de Estudios Sociales. The host is the university''s; the software
underneath is Open Journal Systems 3.4.0.10 by the Public Knowledge Project, whose product specification is deliberately
not catalogued here — OAI-PMH is an Open Archives Initiative protocol, and what is credited to Uniandes is the deployment,
not the protocol and not the software.'

x-coverage:
state: gated
reason: bot_blocked
detail: 'Universidad de los Andes operates no public developer portal, no API key programme and no OpenAPI of its own, and
this profile does not pad that absence. Real probing found one anonymously readable institution-operated surface — the
Revistas Uniandes OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint, live across all six verbs — plus a WordPress REST discovery document on the Agora
news host. Everything else the institution runs on its own domain is closed to automated clients rather than absent: the
DSpace 7 "Seneca" repository returns a bot-detection challenge and 403 on both its OAI and REST paths even under a browser
User-Agent, api.uniandes.edu.co answers with a Cloudflare WAF block on every path tried, and the OJS REST API returns
a structured 403 needing an editor-issued token. Coverage is therefore gated by bot mitigation on the institution''s own
infrastructure, not by the institution publishing nothing. Two further notes on the state of the estate at review time:
the main website www.uniandes.edu.co and every path under it redirect to mantenimiento.uniandes.edu.co, a branded maintenance
page, on three consecutive attempts — the Website pointer is retained because it is the canonical institutional domain
serving the institution''s own page, but the site itself was not serving content; and the news feed previously harvested
from www.uniandes.edu.co/es/noticias is dead for the same reason, which is why the Blog pointer has been moved to agora.uniandes.edu.co,
whose RSS feed is live. Beyond the institution''s own hosts the footprint is relationships: an Entra ID tenant that is
the university''s own SAML/OIDC identity provider, Crossref and DataCite DOI registrations, a ROR record, an OCLC CONTENTdm
tenancy and a D2L Brightspace tenancy. Those are recorded with x-operator federation, registry and tenant; none of those
vendors'' or registries'' contracts are saved under this institution. No searched-and-not-found surface has been invented:
DNS for idp/shibboleth/sso/auth/datos/datosabiertos/developer/hpc/cris/scienti under uniandes.edu.co is NXDOMAIN, cursos
and horario return 404, adfs and exacore resolve but filter TCP 80/443 from the public internet, and the github.com/uniandes
organization has zero public repositories.'
