    summary: >-
      UW has an unusually mature, institutionally documented API footprint via
      UW-IT Enterprise Web Services, with a public service registry and live
      Swagger/OpenAPI specs for Student, IdCard, and Identity Registry web
      services, plus a public DSpace REST + OAI-PMH repository (ResearchWorks)
      and active public GitHub orgs. All documentation and registry URLs
      verified live (HTTP 200); production data endpoints are authenticated and
      access-gated by design, so no open data endpoints were exercised. No
      endpoints were fabricated; only confirmed, reachable URLs are cataloged.
    endpoints:
