# Harvard API Portal (HUIT)

Harvard API Portal (HUIT) is one of 14 APIs that [Harvard University](https://apis.io/providers/harvard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Courses, Identity, Administrative, Apigee, and Gated. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Harvard University Information Technology's central catalog of administrative APIs - Courses, Person Data Service, Library Catalog, Dining, HR Departments, Zoom, Emailer and Generative AI. The portal software is a Google Apigee developer portal, but the APIs it fronts are Harvard-built and run on Harvard's gateway, so the surface is institution, not tenant. It is however completely closed to an outside developer: the catalog itself, every base URL and every credential require HarvardKey login, application registration and a per-API access grant. Anonymous requests to the portal and to every catalog data path return a 2KB Angular shell, so not one administrative API contract could be read.
