  Fudan University is a major public research university in Shanghai, China,
  ranked #84 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It operates a Dataverse
  research data repository (Fudan University Dataverse, launched in 2014) hosting
  tens of thousands of files across social science, demography, and economics
  datasets, and maintains the China Open Data Index via its Digital and Mobile
  Governance Laboratory. As of this review, Fudan exposes no openly documented,
  publicly reachable developer API program: its Dataverse host (which by the
  Dataverse software design provides a native REST API and OAI-PMH) returns an
  access-forbidden page to requests originating outside mainland China, and the
  official GitHub organization carries no public repositories.

      Fudan University Dataverse is a research data repository built on the
      Dataverse open-source platform, hosting survey, census, and social-science
      datasets contributed by Fudan researchers. The Dataverse software exposes a
      native REST/Search API and OAI-PMH metadata harvesting by design; however,
      from outside mainland China the host (dvn.fudan.edu.cn) returns an
      access-forbidden ("禁止访问") page, so the API surface is geo-restricted and
      not publicly documented. Endpoint paths below reflect standard Dataverse
      conventions, not Fudan-published documentation, and could not be verified
      live.
