Open Science Framework
OSF is the Center for Open Science's free repository for preregistrations, study materials, datasets, and manuscripts, and its JSON:API-based v2 API exposes that same content — projects, files, registrations, and users — for programmatic access. Reading public resources needs no key at all; only actions on private or owned data require an OAuth2 personal access token.
