  title: McGill University Dataverse (Borealis) - Native API
  description: Dataverse Native REST API serving the McGill University Dataverse research-data
    repository on the Borealis (Scholars Portal) platform. Provides programmatic access
    to the McGill collection, its contents, and installation info. Faithful subset
    of the upstream Dataverse OpenAPI (Dataverse v6.8.1-SP); response schemas derived
    from verified live responses. Write/admin operations require an X-Dataverse-key
    API token.
