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.
