Charles University (Univerzita Karlova), founded in 1348 in Prague, is the largest and oldest university in Czechia and is ranked #246 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is limited and primarily academic-infrastructure oriented: institutional DSpace repositories expose standards-based OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoints, and the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (UFAL, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) operates the LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ platform which publishes documented public REST web services for natural-language processing. Core student-facing systems such as the Study Information System (SIS) and single sign-on are gated behind eduID.cz / Shibboleth (SAML) authentication and do not publish an open API.
