  Yonsei University is a private research university in Seoul, South Korea,
  founded in 1885 and ranked #73 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its
  public, machine-readable footprint is limited and primarily research- and
  library-oriented: the Yonsei Research Information portal runs on Elsevier Pure
  (which exposes Pure OAI-PMH and REST endpoints, but they require
  credentials/IP allow-listing and return HTTP 401 publicly), and the medical
  library operates a DSpace 5.5 institutional repository (YUHSpace) whose RSS
  feed is publicly reachable while its OAI-PMH/REST paths are not currently
  resolvable. No official, documented public developer portal or open API was
  confirmed; the only related GitHub presence is a student-run Google Developer
  Group (gdg-yonsei), not an official institutional API organization.

    name: Yonsei Research Information Portal (Elsevier Pure)
    description: >-
      Yonsei University's research information system is built on Elsevier Pure,
      publishing organizations, researcher profiles, projects, and research
      outputs. Pure platforms typically expose an OAI-PMH endpoint (/ws/oai) and
      a REST API (/ws/api), but on this instance both return HTTP 401 and are
      not publicly accessible without credentials or IP allow-listing.

      institutional repository, running DSpace 5.5 and built through the
      National Library of Korea OAK distribution project. A public RSS 2.0 feed
