University of Waterloo

University of Waterloo SourceAPI

A second, deliberately gated University of Waterloo API programme providing authenticated access to data from authoritative source systems including Quest (student information) and WatIAM (identity and access management). Access is requested through Jira Service Desk portal 115 and granted per data set in collaboration with the responsible data stewards, under University of Waterloo Policy 46 - Information Management. Waterloo publishes terms of service, an acceptable use policy, getting-started material and release notes for it, but no machine-readable contract and no public host — so it is recorded as an institution-operated surface with no artifact set, not padded out with a fabricated one.
