Emory University

aid: emory
name: Emory University
description: 'Emory University is a private research university in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, ranked #196 in the QS
  World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is modest and largely tied to the libraries and research-computing
  units rather than a central developer portal. The most visible programmatic surfaces are the Emory Libraries open-source
  GitHub organization (digital-repository software built on the Samvera/Hyrax stack), a public Digital Slide Archive REST
  API operated by Emory''s biomedical imaging group, federated Shibboleth/SAML identity, and the Instructure Canvas LMS REST
  API exposed at the institution''s Canvas instance. Most institutional systems (OPUS student information, Course Atlas) are
  gated, browser-based applications without documented public APIs.'
