description: 'Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is a public technological research university in Atlanta, Georgia,
  United States. Its programmable footprint is real but small, decentralized, and operated by individual units rather than
  by any central API program: there is no developer portal, no self-service key issuance, and no published OpenAPI anywhere
  on a gatech.edu host that Georgia Tech itself indexes. What does exist, and what was verified live on 2026-09-01, is four
  institution-operated machine surfaces — an OAI-PMH 2.0 provider and a DSpace 7.6 REST API on repository.gatech.edu (the
  Georgia Tech Digital Repository), a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider registered in InCommon and scoped gatech.edu,
  and a CourseLeaf course-data endpoint on catalog.gatech.edu — plus two contracts Georgia Tech units publish as documents:
  the SUMS (Shared User Management System) Swagger on sums.gatech.edu and the RNOC GT Places API Swagger on rnoc.gatech.edu.
  Georgia Tech is a DataCite direct member (symbol GT, prefix 10.35090) and is registered in ROR as 01zkghx44. Two things
  the profile has to say plainly: GT Places is documented as "open to all" but its declared host now answers with a Microsoft
  Entra ID sign-in redirect, and the enterprise integration API BuzzAPI (api.gatech.edu) lost its public documentation when
  webmasters.gatech.edu was rebuilt in 2026, so it is a credentialed surface with nothing public left to read.'

    The documentation page states "This API is open to all" and "The Api is currently live". Probed the same day, the declared
    base host m.gatech.edu returns a ~23 KB Microsoft Entra ID sign-in page to every request, so the contract is readable
    but the deployment is now gated. Recorded as documented, not as callable.

  state: covered
  reason: covered
  detail: 'Four institution-operated machine surfaces were verified live on 2026-09-01 — an OAI-PMH 2.0 provider and a DSpace
    7.6 REST API on repository.gatech.edu, a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider registered in InCommon and scoped gatech.edu,
    and a CourseLeaf course-data endpoint on catalog.gatech.edu returning 158 KB of XML — plus two Georgia-Tech-published
    contracts: the SUMS Swagger on sums.gatech.edu (already held) and the RNOC GT Places Swagger, newly harvested from rnoc.gatech.edu.
    Five education-regime domain standards are evidenced from public endpoints (oai-pmh, shibboleth, saml, orcid, datacite);
    crossref, scim, lti, oneroster, ed-fi, caliper and qti are recorded as negative with the probe that established each.
    No vendor contract is attributed to Georgia Tech: the Canvas LMS is recorded as an Instructure tenancy and no Instructure
    spec is saved, DSpace''s product contract is left to DSpace, and CourseLeaf''s to Leepfrog. Two honest negatives dominate
    the shape of this profile. GT Places is documented by RNOC as "open to all" yet its declared host m.gatech.edu now returns
    a Microsoft Entra ID sign-in page to every request, so a contract that reads as public describes a deployment that is
    not. And BuzzAPI, the institution''s actual enterprise API, lost all public documentation when webmasters.gatech.edu was
    rebuilt in 2026 — both handbook URLs now 404 and the site''s search is access-denied to anonymous users — so the two dead
    pointers were removed rather than left standing. There is no central developer portal, no self-service key issuance, no
    llms.txt and no security.txt anywhere on gatech.edu.'
