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.
