ETH Zurich – CSCS FirecREST v2 HPC API is one of 42 APIs that [ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology](https://apis.io/providers/eth-zurich/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research Computing and High Performance Computing. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

FirecREST v2, the REST interface to the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre's HPC systems. CSCS is an autonomous unit of ETH Zurich; the specification is served live from the production host, declares servers[] https://api.cscs.ch/hpc/firecrest/v2, and the upstream source carries "Copyright (c) 2019-2024, ETH Zurich". OpenAPI 3.1.0, 33 paths / 35 operations across three tags (status, compute, filesystem), secured with an OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow against auth.cscs.ch. Parallel deployments exist for the ML (api.cscs.ch/ml), Climate & Weather (api.cscs.ch/cw) and Beverin platforms; only the HPC contract is stored here because all four are the same document with a different server. This is the single strongest first-party API surface ETH Zurich operates and it was entirely absent from the June 2026 profile of this institution.
