ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich) is Switzerland's federal institute of technology, founded in 1855 and part of the ETH Domain. Unlike most of the university cohort, ETH operates a genuinely first-party programmable footprint rather than a set of vendor contracts running under its name. The ETH Library API Platform (api.library.ethz.ch) publishes seven documented OpenAPI 3.0 REST APIs — Discovery, ETHorama, Geo, Persons, Research Collection v1 and v2, and Vector — written and operated by ETH Library and specified in ETH's own eth-library/opendata-apis repository. The Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), an autonomous unit of ETH Zurich, operates FirecREST v2, an OAuth2-secured OpenAPI 3.1 REST interface to national HPC systems at api.cscs.ch. ETH also runs two live OAI-PMH endpoints on its own hosts (the Research Collection and e-rara), a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 Identity Provider whose metadata is published through SWITCHaai and eduGAIN, and 308 federated service-provider entities — more than any other Swiss institution. What ETH does NOT publish is equally part of the record: there is no public API for the VVZ course catalogue (the widely used vvzapi.ch is a student project that states plainly it is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETH), no campus-life or facilities API, and no central institution-wide developer portal — the developer portal that exists belongs to ETH Library alone. Library discovery and open data reach the public through tenant relationships on platforms ETH does not operate: swisscovery (Ex Libris Alma/Primo via SLSP) and opendata.swiss (the Swiss federal CKAN).
ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology publishes 38 APIs on the APIs.io network, including bitstreams API, collections API, communities API, and 35 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Switzerland, and ETH Domain.
The ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, API reference, support, and 37 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/eth-zurich: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

endpoint, the host and the handle prefix (20.500.11850) are ETH''s. Access is intermittently bot-mitigated: a rapid second

published in the signed SWITCHaai federation metadata aggregate and reachable through eduGAIN. The EntityDescriptor carries
an IDPSSODescriptor with SAML 2.0 HTTP-Redirect, HTTP-POST, POST-SimpleSign and SOAP bindings plus SAML 1.0 artifact resolution
and attribute query. 308 of the 1,960 entities in the aggregate sit under an ethz.ch host, making ETH the largest single
institutional participant in the Swiss federation. This is a machine-readable, institution-operated surface and it is
the surface class this cohort most consistently fails to record.

authentication. The instance is ETH-operated infrastructure on an ETH host, so the surface is theirs; the API CONTRACT,
however, is GitLab's upstream specification, so no OpenAPI is stored under this institution. Recorded as a relationship,
not as an ETH-authored contract.
