National Cheng Kung University

NCKU Open Data Platform (CKAN Action API)

NCKU's institutional open data portal, a CKAN 2.0 deployment on NCKU's own host publishing 108 datasets from the university and its affiliated units — student enrolment and geographic distribution statistics, international student counts, and the Smart University City (智慧大學城) education and energy datasets. The standard CKAN Action API is open and anonymous: /api/3/action/package_list returns the full dataset id list, /api/3/action/package_show returns full dataset metadata with resources, and /api/3/action/status_show confirms ckan_version 2.0 with the datastore, stats, recline_preview, json_preview, pdf_preview and resource_proxy extensions enabled alongside NCKU's own two. Data is released under Taiwan's Open Government Data License v1 (政府資料開放授權條款第1版), which the portal states is compatible with CC BY 4.0. robots.txt disallows /api/ to crawlers, which is a courtesy directive rather than an access control — the endpoints answer normally.

API entry from apis.yml

apis.yml Raw ↑ 
aid: ncku:opendata
name: NCKU Open Data Platform (CKAN Action API)
x-operator: institution
x-operator-evidence: data.ncku.edu.tw is under NCKU's own registrable domain (ncku.edu.tw) and resolves
  to 140.116.249.41, inside NCKU's own 140.116.0.0/16 allocation. status_show reports site_url https://data.ncku.edu.tw,
  an ncku.edu.tw contact address, and two extensions named for the institution — nckumetadata and nckutemplatehelper.
  The cohort audit flags that the name CNAMEs to data.ncku.com.tw; that target resolves to the same 140.116.249.41,
  so ncku.com.tw is a second NCKU-controlled name in front of the same NCKU-hosted server, not a vendor
  platform — it is merely delegated to Cloudflare nameservers while ncku.edu.tw runs on NCKU's own apple/name.ncku.edu.tw,
  which is the only reason the two look unrelated. NCKU operates the server and authored the customisation;
  the Action API contract itself is CKAN's product API, which is why no OpenAPI is saved under NCKU's
  name.
