GT Places API

Campus place data — buildings, offices, categories and community tags with names, addresses, phone numbers, images and GPS coordinates — documented and published by the Georgia Tech Research Network Operations Center (RNOC), which serves a Swagger 2.0 contract from its own host at /sites/default/files/gtplaces_6.yaml (200 text/plain, harvested 2026-09-01). The documentation page states "This API is open to all" and "The Api is currently live". Probed the same day, the declared base host m.gatech.edu returns a ~23 KB Microsoft Entra ID sign-in page to every request, so the contract is readable but the deployment is now gated. Recorded as documented, not as callable.

info:
  title: Places API
  description: >-
    Georgia Tech GT Places API. The title above is left exactly as Georgia Tech published it
    ("Places API") so the refine/misbased audit can match this document against its
    openapi/_original/ parent. Campus place data for the Georgia Institute of Technology — buildings, offices, categories and
    community tags, with names, addresses, phone numbers, images and GPS coordinates. Documented and
    published by the Georgia Tech Research Network Operations Center (RNOC), which states on the
    documentation page that "This API is open to all" and that the API is "currently live".
    Converted faithfully from the Swagger 2.0 document RNOC serves at
    https://rnoc.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/gtplaces_6.yaml — the pristine copy is kept at
    openapi/_original/georgia-institute-of-technology-gt-places.yaml. Nothing has been added:
    the five operations, the four schemas and the field names (including the source document's
    "latitute"/"longitute" spellings) are exactly as RNOC published them. Operations commented out
    in the source (POST /gtplaces/flag) are not reproduced here.
    OPERATIONAL NOTE, probed 2026-09-01: the declared base host m.gatech.edu now answers every
    request with a Microsoft Entra ID sign-in redirect (HTTP 200, text/html, ~23 KB), so the
    endpoints below are no longer anonymously callable even though the documentation still
    describes them as open. The contract is Georgia Tech's; the deployment is now gated.
