University of Zurich Identity Provider (SWITCH edu-ID, tenant) is one of 5 APIs that [University of Zurich](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-zurich/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, SAML, Shibboleth, and SWITCH edu-ID. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

UZH's SAML 2.0 identity provider is delivered by SWITCH edu-ID as a hosted, UZH-scoped IdP and registered in the SWITCHaai federation with mdui:DisplayName "University of Zurich". The federation metadata aggregate is the machine-readable artifact: it carries the UZH IdP entity plus more than two hundred uzh.ch service-provider entities covering gitlab.uzh.ch, ezproxy.uzh.ch, the olat.uzh.ch learning platform, the exam.uzh.ch assessment estate and eduid.uzh.ch. This is UZH's largest genuinely machine-readable identity surface, and it is a tenancy rather than an operation.
