    summary: >-
      Verified live, standards-based APIs rather than a unified gated developer
      portal. The institutional Dataverse repository (v6.8) responds on its Native
      and Search API and on OAI-PMH; the DIAL institutional repository serves a valid
      OAI-PMH Identify response. The official uclouvain GitHub org exists, and the
      open-source OSIS project is published there. No key-issuing developer portal or
      published rate limits were found. All endpoints below were probed live; nothing
      was fabricated.
    endpoints:
