Freerooms API (DevSoc, community)

A live student-society API exposing UNSW campus buildings and teaching rooms with coordinates, capacity, school and usage type — the campus-life surface class, built by students rather than by the institution. Confirmed live: /api/buildings and /api/rooms both return JSON without credentials. This is the working successor to the archived timetable-scraper, and it is credited as a tenant relationship, never as a UNSW-operated API.
