Arizona State University (ASU) is a large public research university based in Tempe, Arizona, United States, ranked #200 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. ASU's confirmed public developer footprint centers on its Library Research Data Repository, a Dataverse instance that exposes a documented native REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata interface. ASU also operates a public course catalog and class search, a CAS/Shibboleth single sign-on identity service, and an official GitHub organization hosting its Unity design system and Drupal-based web infrastructure. Most administrative and student-facing APIs are gated behind ASURITE authentication and are not publicly documented.
