# PoliTO Public Search Web Services (people, departments, teachings, rooms)

PoliTO Public Search Web Services (people, departments, teachings, rooms) is one of 20 APIs that [Politecnico di Torino](https://apis.io/providers/politecnico-di-torino/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Course Catalog, Directory, Search, Campus, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Four keyless JSON web services operated by Politecnico di Torino on its own hosts, found on 2026-08-30 in the client JavaScript behind https://www.polito.it/en/search and probed live. search_people.ashx, search_departments.ashx and search_teachings.ashx run at mypoli.polito.it/dotnet/ws_anagrafe (130.192.182.138); the campus room locator motore-di-ricerca/localijson.php runs at legacyprod.polito.it (130.192.182.100). Both hosts sit inside the university's own 130.192.0.0/16 GARR address space with no vendor CNAME, so this is institution-operated engineering rather than a tenant deployment. All four returned HTTP 200 with application/json and real institutional data to an anonymous caller carrying no credential, which makes this the ONLY Politecnico di Torino API surface an outsider can actually call — the documented app.didattica.polito.it REST API behind the official mobile apps returns 403 without a PoliTO bearer token. The teachings service is the closest thing the university operates to a public course-catalog API. Politecnico di Torino publishes no specification, documentation or terms of use for any of them and does not present them as a developer product; the OpenAPI recorded here is DERIVED from live probing by API Evangelist and is stamped as such. Paging is advertised and not honoured — current_page and page_size echo back 1 and 5 whatever is sent — and omitting the required q parameter returns HTTP 500 rather than 400. The people service returns personal data about named staff including institutional email addresses; no real personal record is reproduced in the derived contract.
