Loughborough University Library Hours and Bookings (Springshare LibCal tenancy) is one of 7 APIs that [Loughborough University](https://apis.io/providers/loughborough/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Room Booking, and Campus Life. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Room booking, opening hours and library event data run on Springshare LibCal at libcal.lboro.ac.uk (CNAME region-eu.libcal.com). The legacy keyless widget endpoint /api_hours_grid.php?iid=0&format=json answers 200 application/json but returns an empty locations array for the default institution id; the LibCal 1.1 REST API at /api/1.1/* returns 403 without an OAuth client credential. Recorded as a tenant surface that exists and is credentialed, not as an open Loughborough API.
