University of Texas at Austin

name: University of Texas at Austin
description: 'The University of Texas at Austin is a flagship public research university in Austin, Texas, United States,
  ranked #65 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable API footprint is concentrated in its library
  and research-data infrastructure rather than a single centralized developer portal. The UT Libraries operate Texas ScholarWorks,
  a DSpace 8 institutional repository exposing a public DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoint, and the
  university participates in the Texas Data Repository, a Dataverse instance hosted by the Texas Digital Library that offers
  a documented REST API. Enterprise integration APIs (the UT Austin API Registry / Identity and Access Management services)
  exist but are gated behind UT EID authentication and internal ServiceNow access.'
