    summary: >-
      The University of Lisbon has no single institutional developer portal. Two
      programmable interfaces were verified live: the FenixEdu academic REST API at
      Instituto Superior Tecnico (HTTP 200, returns JSON from /api/fenix/v1/about
      identifying "Instituto Superior Tecnico") and the DSpace institutional
      repository OAI-PMH endpoint (HTTP 200, valid Identify response). The ULisboa
      GitHub organization exists (4 public Java repos focused on Erasmus Without
      Paper / EWP). The DSpace OAI path is /server/oai/request, not the legacy
      /oai/request (404). The main marketing site returns 500 to bare requests but
      200 with a browser User-Agent. The research portal (Pure) returns 403 to
      automated requests and was not confirmed to expose a public API. No fabricated
      endpoints: only URLs probed live are listed below.
    endpoints:
