Technical University of Denmark

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading engineering and science university in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, ranked #109 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. DTU's public developer/API footprint is research- and metadata-oriented rather than a unified developer program: its DTU Data research repository is built on the Figshare platform and exposes the open Figshare REST API (institution id 379), and the DTU Orbit research database runs on Elsevier Pure. DTU also maintains a public GitHub organization (dtudk) hosting affiliated open-source software. Identity is handled through DTU's federated SSO (Shibboleth/OCES). There is no consolidated public developer portal documenting institution-wide APIs.

Technical University of Denmark publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: articles API and institutions API. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research Data, and Open Data.

The Technical University of Denmark catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Technical University of Denmark’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, authentication, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
