Interfolio

Interfolio is a Faculty Information System (now an Elsevier product) that helps colleges and universities manage the full faculty lifecycle: recruiting and hiring (Faculty Search), activity reporting and reviews (Faculty180 / Faculty Activity Reporting), review, promotion and tenure (RPT), lifecycle management, faculty web profiles, and the Dossier application service for individual academics. Interfolio exposes REST and GraphQL APIs for integrating faculty, activity, position, and review data with campus systems, secured with an HMAC public/private key mechanism scoped by tenant. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Insight Partners and enriched with real developer-surface artifacts.

Interfolio publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Education, Higher Education, Faculty Information System, and Faculty Activity Reporting.

Interfolio’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 12 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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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/interfolio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
