University of Minnesota

Common Good APIs

A suite of APIs published by the OIT Integrations Team over the University's Common Data Layer — person, class, employee, student academic, organization, HR and term information. Served from a University-hosted Boomi integration gateway at integration-boomi.umn.edu, so the runtime is the institution's. Access is graded by the University's own data classification (public, private, restricted, highly restricted) and granted per data custodian. Per-API Swagger exists only inside the University's tenant Boomi developer portal; no anonymous path to it was reachable, so no contract for these APIs is held here. The documented base host does not resolve on public DNS (NXDOMAIN at 8.8.8.8), so the surface is institution-operated but reachable only from inside the University network.
