The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a technical university in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark. DTU operates no central developer portal and publishes no OpenAPI-described public REST API of its own. Its two clearly institution-operated machine-readable surfaces are its identity federation — a DTU-run SAML 2.0 / WS-Federation / OpenID Connect token service at sts.ait.dtu.dk, registered in the Danish national federation WAYF and in eduGAIN — and the Global Wind Atlas OGC Web Processing Service, whose GetCapabilities document names DTU Wind Energy as the service provider with a dtu.dk contact. Everything that previously read as a DTU API was not: DTU Data (data.dtu.dk) is a Figshare tenant and DTU Orbit (orbit.dtu.dk) is an Elsevier Pure deployment, and both are recorded here as tenant relationships rather than DTU contracts. DTU Learn is a D2L Brightspace tenant. The course catalogue at kurser.dtu.dk is DTU-operated but sign-in gated. DTU maintains public GitHub organizations (dtudk, DTUWindEnergy) hosting affiliated open-source software.
Technical University of Denmark is listed with 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Technical University, and Denmark.
Technical University of Denmark’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, authentication, engineering blog, and 17 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes

metadata and an OpenID Connect discovery document, both openly and without authentication. The IdP entityID http://sts.ait.dtu.dk/adfs/services/trust
is registered in WAYF, the Danish national identity federation, and through WAYF in eduGAIN, with schacHomeOrganization
dtu.dk and scopes dtu.dk and guest.dtu.dk. This is DTU's own engineering on DTU's own host — the clearest institution-operated
machine-readable surface DTU publishes. Relying-party registration is not self-service and requires institutional affiliation.

Wind Energy as the ows:ServiceProvider, with a Risø Campus, Roskilde address and a dtu.dk service contact, so the service
is DTU-operated even though it is published on the project domain globalwindatlas.info rather than under dtu.dk. Fees
are declared "None" and access constraints "none". Eight processes are offered, including get_libfile (a WAsP generalized
wind climate for the nearest pixel), get_rose, get_spatial_stats, get_area_mean, get_temporal_stats, get_timeseries and
get_aep. The Global Wind Atlas is a partnership between DTU's Department of Wind and Energy Systems and the World Bank
Group.

sit behind a verification interstitial for non-browser clients, so it is a real but only partially machine-readable surface.
No vendor contract is saved under DTU for it.

Figshare's contract. DTU records are scoped by Figshare institution id 379. The API that serves it is api.figshare.com/v2,
a generic host every Figshare customer shares, so no OpenAPI is stored under DTU for it; the contract belongs in Figshare's
own repo. Recording the relationship, not the contract, is deliberate. The tenant host itself sits behind an AWS WAF challenge
for non-browser clients.

the contract, where one exists, is Elsevier's.

detail: 'Probed on 2026-08-30. DTU publishes no OpenAPI-described public REST API and no developer portal; api.dtu.dk and
developer.dtu.dk do not resolve. Two institution-operated machine-readable surfaces were found, verified and recorded:
DTU''s own SAML 2.0 / WS-Federation / OpenID Connect token service at sts.ait.dtu.dk (signed metadata 200, OIDC discovery
200, registered in WAYF and eduGAIN) and the Global Wind Atlas OGC WPS 1.0.0, whose GetCapabilities names DTU Wind Energy
with a dtu.dk contact. DTU Findit publishes an OpenSearch descriptor on DTU''s host. The five Figshare OpenAPI contracts
previously attributed to DTU, and the twenty-two artifacts derived from them, were removed — api.figshare.com is a generic
vendor host claimed by four other institutions in this cohort. DTU Data and DTU Orbit are re-recorded as tenant relationships.
No OAI-PMH endpoint on a DTU host responded, and no open data portal exists.'
