Georgia Tech SUMS REST API is one of 10 APIs that [Georgia Institute of Technology](https://apis.io/providers/georgia-institute-of-technology/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research Computing, Laboratory, Equipment, Training, and Identity. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

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.
