Stanford Identity Provider — SAML 2.0 metadata is one of 15 APIs that [Stanford University](https://apis.io/providers/stanford/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, and Single Sign-On. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Signed Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity-provider metadata, entityID https://idp.stanford.edu/, valid until 2027-08-16. Declares an IDPSSODescriptor, three SSO bindings (HTTP-POST, HTTP-POST-SimpleSign, HTTP-Redirect) at login.stanford.edu, and shibmd:Scope stanford.edu. Institution-operated by definition and the strongest domain-standard evidence in this profile — it satisfies both `saml` and `shibboleth` in the education regime.
