description: >-
  Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a research-driven public technical
  university in Eindhoven, Netherlands, ranked #136 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint centers on its
  Elsevier Pure research information system, which exposes the institutional
  research output through an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface and the Pure
  Web Service (REST/SOAP) API. TU/e does not operate a single consolidated public
  developer portal; programmatic access to course, identity, and library systems
  is generally institution-internal or vendor-mediated, and numerous departmental
  research groups publish open-source code across separate GitHub organizations.

    name: TU/e Research Portal OAI-PMH
    description: >-
      OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface for the TU/e Research Portal, powered
      by Elsevier Pure. It exposes research-output metadata (publications,
      projects, researcher profiles, datasets) for harvesting by aggregators such
      as OpenAIRE. The endpoint is the standard Pure OAI path; bare requests
      returned server errors during probing, consistent with Pure requiring
      properly formed OAI verb/metadataPrefix parameters.

    description: >-
      The Elsevier Pure Web Service (REST/SOAP) backing the TU/e Research Portal,
      providing programmatic access to research content and funding/acknowledgement
      metadata. Pure Web Service access is generally API-key gated and intended for
      authorized harvesting and integration partners rather than open public use.
