# UCLA Library IIIF Image Service

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/ucla/library-iiif/  
**Provider:** University of California, Los Angeles — https://apis.io/providers/ucla/  
**Base URL:** https://iiif.library.ucla.edu/iiif/2  
**Documentation:** https://guides.library.ucla.edu/digital-collections/iiif

UCLA Library IIIF Image Service is one of 12 APIs that [University of California, Los Angeles](https://apis.io/providers/ucla/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, IIIF, Digital Collections, Image, and Cultural Heritage. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

UCLA Library self-hosts a Cantaloupe 5.0.5 image server exposing both IIIF Image API 2.x and 3.0 endpoints for its digital collections. Institution-operated on UCLA's own AWS infrastructure under a UCLA-issued certificate, not a vendor platform. Live but effectively unreadable from outside - every identifier probed, including a deliberate nonsense control, returned 403 with a Java stack trace naming the private S3 source bucket, so no manifest or info.json could be retrieved and none is claimed.
