Heriot-Watt University

Heriot-Watt LibCal (Springshare)

Springshare LibCal tenancy for library room bookings, events and opening hours at hw.ac.libcal.com (CNAME region-eu.libcal.com). LibCal's REST API exists at this host — the OAuth2 token endpoint /1.1/oauth/token answers 405 to a GET, confirming the route is routed and live — but it is gated behind an admin-provisioned OAuth client, so no unauthenticated call succeeds. The API contract is Springshare's and is not saved under this institution.
