Nagoya University (名古屋大学) is a national research university in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, ranked #152 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. As a leading research institution it operates a range of academic and IT services through its Information & Communications (ICTS) division and university library. Its most clearly documented public, machine-readable API surface is the NAGOYA Repository institutional repository, which runs on the NII WEKO3 / JAIRO Cloud platform and exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0 interface for harvesting scholarly metadata. Most other systems (student portal, NU-ID identity, course registration) are gated behind THERS/GakuNin (Shibboleth/SAML) authentication and are not publicly documented developer APIs.
