**Documentation:** https://developer.ucsb.edu/docs/security/overview

UCSB Campus API Gateway is one of 27 APIs that [University of California, Santa Barbara](https://apis.io/providers/ucsb/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include API Gateway, Campus, and Security. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

The single API front door for the campus, at api.ucsb.edu. Every campus API is published as a proxy on it and it enforces the ucsb-api-key application entitlement before a request reaches a backend web service. It runs on Apigee (api.ucsb.edu CNAMEs to ucsb-prod.apigee.net) but the domain, the proxies, the API products and the backend services are UCSB’s, so this is institution-operated infrastructure on a vendor runtime, not a vendor tenancy. Probed live 2026-08-30: an unauthenticated call returns 401 with an Apigee fault envelope, and the CORS allow-list advertises the whole auth surface — ucsb-api-key, ucsb-api-version, ucsb-user-jwt.
