# HBKU Academic Catalog — Course Search

HBKU Academic Catalog — Course Search is one of 5 APIs that [Hamad Bin Khalifa University](https://apis.io/providers/hbku/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Course Catalog, Academic, and CourseLeaf. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

HBKU publishes its academic catalog on its own host, catalog.hbku.edu.qa, running CourseLeaf. The catalog ships a JSON course-search endpoint at /course-search/api/ that answers unauthenticated POSTs — but its backing term database is missing server-side: a well-formed query against the term the page itself advertises (srcdb 202410) returns HTTP 200 with {"fatal":"Could not execute database query: Cannot open database: \"fose-clss202410\""}. So the surface is live and reachable and cannot currently return course data. Recorded because a course catalog is one of the few genuinely institutional surface classes and this one is real; marked tenant because the interface is CourseLeaf's, on HBKU's host with HBKU's data. No CourseLeaf specification is stored under this slug.
