--- name: University of Adelaide description: University of Adelaide public developer/API footprint review for APIs.json cataloging. url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/university-of-adelaide/refs/heads/main/review.yml created: '2026-06-03' modified: '2026-08-30' reviews: - date: '2026-06-03' rating: 3 summary: >- No unified, self-service public API developer portal was found for the University of Adelaide. Verified live machine interfaces are scholarly infrastructure: the "Adelaide Research & Scholarship" DSpace 7.6.1 repository REST API and its OAI-PMH endpoint both responded, and the Adelaide Figshare research-data instance is backed by the live shared Figshare public REST API and OAI-PMH. SSO is CAS-based at login.adelaide.edu.au. A real public GitHub org (universityofadelaide, ~37 repos, Drupal "Shepherd") exists. Course-outlines and timetable systems are web apps with no documented public API. No endpoints were fabricated; every cataloged interface was probed directly. endpoints: - url: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/server/api status: 200 note: DSpace 7.6.1 REST root; returns repository name "Adelaide Research & Scholarship". - url: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/server/oai/request?verb=Identify status: 200 note: OAI-PMH 2.0 Identify; repository "Adelaide Research & Scholarship", earliest datestamp 2002. - url: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/oai/request?verb=Identify status: 404 note: Legacy OAI path; not active (use /server/oai/request). - url: https://api.figshare.com/v2/oai?verb=Identify status: 200 note: Shared Figshare public OAI-PMH endpoint backing Adelaide Figshare. - url: https://adelaide.figshare.com/ status: 202 note: Adelaide Figshare research-data instance landing page (Cloudflare 202). - url: https://github.com/universityofadelaide status: 200 note: Public GitHub org, ~37 repos centered on Drupal "Shepherd" platform. - url: https://login.adelaide.edu.au/ status: 200 note: CAS-based single sign-on (cas1prd); not a self-service API. - url: https://www.adelaide.edu.au/ status: 200 note: Official institutional website. - url: https://www.adelaide.edu.au/course-outlines/108960/1/sem-1/ status: 404 note: Course-outlines web app; sample outline path 404, no documented public API. - url: https://status.adelaide.edu.au/ status: 0 note: No public status page resolved at this host. - date: '2026-08-30' rating: 2 summary: >- Re-reviewed under the university pipeline's operator axis. The June 2026 review recorded https://api.figshare.com/v2/oai as an Adelaide interface; it is Figshare's generic endpoint, shared by every Figshare customer, and eleven other institutions in this catalog carried the same contract as their own. Ten OpenAPI definitions and 37 derived artifacts built from it have been removed. Adelaide's real institution-operated footprint is three endpoints: the DSpace 7.6.1 REST API, its OAI-PMH interface, and a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 Identity Provider registered in the Australian Access Federation — the last of which the June review missed entirely. Two vendor deployments are retained as tenant relationships. A full crawl of the 10,326-URL adelaide.edu.au sitemap found no developer portal, API reference, open-data portal or OpenAPI. The institution has also been superseded: ROR marks University of Adelaide inactive with successor Adelaide University, the January 2026 merger with UniSA. The rating falls because the previous rating was Figshare's engineering, not Adelaide's. endpoints: - url: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/server/api status: 200 note: DSpace 7.6.1 HAL root, dspaceName "Adelaide Research & Scholarship".
