    summary: >-
      HIT has no formal public developer portal or open-data site. The strongest
      verified machine-readable footprint is the Elsevier Pure research portal at
      scholar.hit.edu.cn, which exposes a live OAI-PMH endpoint (ListSets returns
      PURE Persons and PURE publications via the OpenAIRE CERIF 1.2 profile) and
      live RSS feeds of research output. The library institutional repository
      (ir.lib.hit.edu.cn) is gated/blocked from outside China and exposes no
      documented OAI-PMH. Affiliated research-group GitHub orgs exist but are not
      institution-wide API publishers. No endpoints were fabricated; all rows below
      were probed live.
    endpoints:
