    summary: >-
      No official documented public developer portal or open API was found for
      Yonsei University. The Elsevier Pure research portal is live but its
      Pure OAI-PMH (/ws/oai) and REST (/ws/api) endpoints return HTTP 401 and
      are gated. The medical library's DSpace 5.5 repository (YUHSpace) is live
      with a publicly reachable RSS feed, but its OAI-PMH and REST paths did not
      resolve (HTTP 404). The only GitHub presence is a student Google Developer
      Group (gdg-yonsei), not an official institutional API org. Nothing was
      fabricated; only live-verified URLs and their observed HTTP statuses are
      recorded below.
