Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

aid: iit-delhi
name: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
description: 'Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is a public technical and research university in Hauz Khas,
  New Delhi, an Institute of National Importance and Institution of Eminence ranked #118 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. Its public developer/API footprint is modest and largely research- and student-driven rather than a centralized developer
  program: the Central Library runs an open DSpace 8 institutional repository exposing a DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting
  interface, the institute operates an OAuth 2 authentication server for campus apps, and the student DevClub maintains the
  IITD Connect mobile-app backend with Postman-documented endpoints. There is no unified, productized public API portal.'
