IIT Delhi Departmental Site Platform API is one of 8 APIs that [Indian Institute of Technology Delhi](https://apis.io/providers/iit-delhi/) 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 Content, Departmental, JSON, Undocumented, and Campus. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, and 1 JSON Schema.

Undocumented JSON API behind the shared React/Express site platform IIT Delhi runs across departmental and unit subdomains. Anonymous reads were confirmed on 2026-08-30 across three deployments — convocation.iitd.ac.in serves /api/news and /api/contact, ird.iitd.ac.in serves /api/contact, /api/circulars and /api/announcements, and csc.iitd.ac.in serves /api/contact and /api/pages. Media collections and writes are gated behind the institute's own OAuth 2 server, which the API names in its own 401 body. IIT Delhi publishes no documentation, version marker, changelog or contract for this surface; the OpenAPI in this repo was reverse-described entirely from live probes and is marked as such.
