IIT Madras Online Degree community forum (Discourse tenant) is one of 7 APIs that [Indian Institute of Technology Madras](https://apis.io/providers/iit-madras/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Community, Forum, and Online Degree.

The discussion forum for the IIT Madras BS in Data Science and Applications programme, running on Discourse's hosted service. Discourse's JSON API is present at every route — /site.json, /latest.json and /categories.json all return application/json — but all three return HTTP 403 {"errors":["You need to be logged in to do that."]}, so the forum is a closed community rather than a public read surface. /srv/status returns 200 "ok". The content and the community are IIT Madras's; the contract is Discourse's and is not saved here.
