Yonsei University

Yonsei University is a private research university in Seoul, South Korea, founded in 1885 and ranked #73 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is limited and primarily research- and library-oriented: the Yonsei Research Information portal runs on Elsevier Pure (which exposes Pure OAI-PMH and REST endpoints, but they require credentials/IP allow-listing and return HTTP 401 publicly), and the medical library operates a DSpace 5.5 institutional repository (YUHSpace) whose RSS feed is publicly reachable while its OAI-PMH/REST paths are not currently resolvable. No official, documented public developer portal or open API was confirmed; the only related GitHub presence is a student-run Google Developer Group (gdg-yonsei), not an official institutional API organization.

  description: Yonsei University's research information system is built on Elsevier Pure, publishing organizations, researcher
    profiles, projects, and research outputs. Pure platforms typically expose an OAI-PMH endpoint (/ws/oai) and a REST API
    (/ws/api), but on this instance both return HTTP 401 and are not publicly accessible without credentials or IP allow-listing.
