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 44 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Access API, addFilesToDataset API, addFileToDataset API, and 41 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.
