    summary: >-
      UAB has no formal, publicly documented developer portal or API program and
      no confirmed official institutional GitHub organization (the Catalan UAB at
      uab.cat is distinct from the unrelated US "uab.edu"/uabrc orgs, which were
      excluded). The strongest verified machine-accessible interface is the DDD
      institutional repository's OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint, confirmed live returning a
      valid Identify response (Invenio-based, OpenAIRE-compliant, admin
      ddd.bib@uab.cat, earliest datestamp 2006-03-13). Research data is published
      through the federated CSUC/CORA consortium repository rather than a UAB-only
      API. Student academic services (SIA) are gated login portals with no public
      API docs. No endpoints, keys, or specs were fabricated; only confirmed
      surfaces are cataloged. Note: direct curl probes from this network returned
      000 for some HTTPS hosts (apparent TLS/bot filtering), but the OAI-PMH
      endpoint and the main site were verified via independent fetch.
    endpoints:
      - url: https://ddd.uab.cat/oai2d?verb=Identify
        status: 200
        note: Verified live OAI-PMH 2.0 Identify (Invenio, OpenAIRE-compliant) via fetch; direct curl returned 000 due to network TLS/bot filtering.
