McMaster University

McMaster API Service Developer Portal

Central API management developer portal operated by University Technology Services, running on Azure API Management. Both /apis and /products redirect to /signin, so neither the API catalog nor the product list is readable anonymously; access requires a MacID plus a registration step. No anonymous OpenAPI, no public product names, no published terms or rate limits. McMaster demonstrably runs an internal API estate here; its size and shape cannot be measured from outside, and nothing about it is claimed in this repository.
