GakuNin Academic Access Federation membership is one of 10 APIs that [Waseda University](https://apis.io/providers/waseda/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Identity Federation, GakuNin, eduGAIN, SAML, and Shibboleth. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Waseda's identity provider is registered in GakuNin (学術認証フェデレーション), the Japanese academic identity federation operated by the National Institute of Informatics, and reaches eduGAIN through it. The entityID https://iaidp.ia.waseda.jp/idp/shibboleth was confirmed present in the GakuNin operational metadata aggregate on 2026-09-01, carrying OrganizationDisplayName "Waseda University". A federation is shared by definition and the aggregate is NII's; the IdP inside it is Waseda's. Recorded as a membership, never as a Waseda contract.
