aid: carnegie-mellon-university
name: Carnegie Mellon University
description: 'Carnegie Mellon University is a private research university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, ranked
  #50 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is concentrated in research and library
  infrastructure rather than a single central developer portal. The most prominent public API is the Delphi Epidata API, a
  real-time epidemiological data API maintained by CMU''s Delphi research group. The University Libraries operate the KiltHub
  institutional repository (hosted on figshare) which exposes research data and scholarly outputs via OAI-PMH and the figshare
  REST API, and CMU runs a campus-wide Shibboleth/Web Login single sign-on identity service.'
