Shnaton Course Catalog API is one of 6 APIs that [Hebrew University of Jerusalem](https://apis.io/providers/hebrew-university-of-jerusalem/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Course Catalog, Registrar, Timetable, Syllabus, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, a JSON-LD context, and 1 JSON Schema.

The public JSON API behind shnaton.huji.ac.il, the Hebrew University's official course catalog. Faculties, departments, degree programs, specializations, study roadmaps, courses, course groups, timetabled study sessions and syllabi, bilingual Hebrew/English, for academic years 2020-2027. Unauthenticated and unpaginated: an anonymous POST to /courses/search-advanced returned 6,355 courses in a single 14,153,560-byte response on 2026-09-01. The university publishes no contract for it — the OpenAPI in this repository was derived by API Evangelist from the catalog's own JavaScript client and then verified operation by operation against the production host.
