Georgia Tech SUMS REST API

The Shared User Management System (SUMS) REST API, operated by Georgia Tech at sums.gatech.edu to manage researcher access to shared lab instruments, training records, equipment-group queues and BuzzCard identity lookups. Georgia Tech publishes the Swagger 2.0 document itself at /SUMSAPI/rest/API/swagger.json (200, re-verified 2026-09-01); the OpenAPI here is converted from it and the pristine copy is kept in openapi/_original/. Built on the OutSystems low-code platform but hosted on Georgia Tech's own domain and describing Georgia Tech's own system. Most operations require an APIKey query parameter with no public issuance path.
