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.
