University of Rochester

aid: university-of-rochester
name: University of Rochester
description: 'The University of Rochester is a private research university in Rochester, New York, ranked #236 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a single official, centralized public developer portal; its publicly reachable
  programmatic surface is found across library and research-data infrastructure. The University of Rochester Research Repository
  (URRR) runs on the Figshare platform, which exposes a public REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint, and the legacy UR Research
  institutional repository still serves a live OAI-PMH interface. The River Campus Libraries also maintain an active public
  GitHub organization with digital-library tooling. Most enterprise systems (SIS, identity/SSO, course/catalog) are gated
  and not publicly documented.'

  description: The University of Rochester Research Repository (URRR) is the institution's official research and data repository,
    hosted on the Figshare platform at rochester.figshare.com. Figshare provides a public REST API (api.figshare.com/v2) for
