Probe 1: `GET https://datadryad.org/api/v2/search?page=1&per_page=3` — HTTP
200, `_embedded.stash:datasets` returned 3 live datasets, e.g. `doi:
10.5061/dryad.bnzs7h4sr` ("Data from: ZNF263-NuRD-mediated repression of STAT1
curtails [...]").

Probe 2: `GET https://datadryad.org/api/v2/datasets/doi%3A10.5061%2Fdryad.bnzs7h4sr`
(the DOI must be double-URL-encoded as the path segment — `doi:` prefix and the
internal `/` both percent-escaped, or the request 404s). HTTP 200. Observed fields
not present in Zenodo's (S10) or OSF's (S11) equivalent objects:
- `curationStatus`: `"Published"` (Dryad's internal review-workflow state —
  distinct values exist for submitted/in-review/needs-revision/withdrawn, not
  sampled here but implied by the field's existence)
- `versionNumber`: `3` and `versionStatus` (this dataset has been revised twice
  since its first deposit)
- `visibility`: `"public"`
- `license`: a full SPDX URL, `"https://spdx.org/licenses/CC0-1.0.html"` (Zenodo
  gave a short `license.id` string like `cc-by-4.0`; OSF gave nothing on the
  sampled node)
- `lastModificationDate` alongside `publicationDate`, separately.

Net across S10-S12: all three repositories resolve DOIs and serve metadata at 200,
but the three APIs differ in how much provenance/lifecycle state they expose
without extra calls — Dryad is the most explicit about version and curation state,
Zenodo exposes license/access cleanly, OSF's generic `nodes` endpoint gives the
least domain-specific structure of the three.

How observed: 2026-10-12T21:00:29Z (list) and 21:01:07Z (detail), curl, Dryad v2
REST API, keyless.
