University of Calgary

University of Calgary Research Computing Services Wiki API

RCSWiki, the documentation platform for University of Calgary Advanced Research Computing, runs MediaWiki 1.43.3 on university infrastructure with the MediaWiki Action API openly reachable at /api.php — a genuinely machine-readable, keyless, institution-operated surface covering the HPC and research-computing service documentation. The contract is MediaWiki's, so no product specification is saved here; the deployment is the institution's.
