KU Leuven

KU Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) is a Flemish public research university in Leuven, Belgium, founded in 1425 and ranked in the QS world top 50. Re-profiled on 2026-08-19 with operator attribution settled before anything was saved, it is one of the few universities in this cohort whose machine-readable surface is genuinely its own: every host below resolves inside KU Leuven's own 134.58.0.0/16 address space, and no Figshare, Elsevier Pure, Ex Libris or Symplectic contract is attributed here. Its central programmable surface is the ICTS Data Services gateway at dataservice.kuleuven.be — an unauthenticated OpenSearch query API over eight public index families covering the staff directory, academic CVs, the organisational chart, the programme guide, research projects, research teams, research infrastructure and job vacancies — documented in Dutch at admin.kuleuven.be and confirmed live returning real records. It also runs the Research Data Repository (RDR), a self-hosted Dataverse 6.7.1 installation at rdr.kuleuven.be that serves its own OpenAPI publicly, mints DOIs as DataCite repository client BRVZ.RDR, and exposes OAI-PMH; the Lirias institutional repository exposes a second OAI-PMH endpoint; and idp.kuleuven.be serves SAML 2.0 Shibboleth metadata registered in the Belnet federation with REFEDS SIRTFI and Research & Scholarship assurance. Honest caveats: the 36 RDR entries below are tag-splits of ONE Dataverse deployment, and that contract is upstream open-source Dataverse's work — KU Leuven operates the deployment and owns the data, it does not author the API. There is no unified developer portal, no self-serve credential anywhere in the estate, no versioning on the data services gateway, and the personal timetable API's production host does not resolve from the public internet.

KU Leuven publishes 37 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Access API, addFilesToDataset API, addFileToDataset API, and 34 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Belgium, and Europe.

The KU Leuven catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

KU Leuven’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, support, authentication, and 33 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.

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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ku-leuven: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →

  description: 'The institution''s central programmable surface, operated by KU Leuven ICTS on its own host and its own address
    space. dataservice.kuleuven.be fronts eight public OpenSearch index families — employee (wie-is-wie staff directory),
    cv (academic CVs, carrying ORCID iDs), organigram (organisational chart), pg/pg<year> (programme guide), onderzoeksproject,
    onderzoeksteams and onderzoeksinfrastructuur (research database), and jobsite (vacancies) — each published in a Dutch
    and an English index. Every index answered an unauthenticated GET /_search with HTTP 200 and real records on 2026-08-19:
    2,264 organisational units, 5,026 programmes for 2025 and 2,543 for 2026, 740 research teams, 379 research infrastructure
    records, 132 open vacancies, and directory and project indices capped at the 10,000-hit tracking limit. No API key, no
    registration and no rate limit was observed; use is governed by the KU Leuven Data Service terms of use. The OpenAPI registered
    here was derived from KU Leuven''s own documentation pages and verified against live responses — KU Leuven publishes no
    machine-readable description of this surface itself. Consumer caveats: there is no version anywhere in the path, header
    or media type; an unpublished index name returns an HTML 503 from the front proxy rather than a 404, so a typo is indistinguishable
    from an outage; the documentation is Dutch-first even for the English indices; and the directory, CV and organigram indices
    publish staff names, work addresses and work telephone numbers openly, which is deliberate who-is-who publication but
    is personal data a consumer takes on obligations for.'
