National University of Singapore

The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore's flagship public research university, ranked #8 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. NUS does not operate a single unified, public developer portal; its documented, programmatically accessible footprint is concentrated in its open scholarly infrastructure. The institutional repository ScholarBank@NUS runs on DSpace 7.6 and exposes both a REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting interface. Module and timetable data is also available via the community-maintained NUSMods API (unofficial), which normalizes NUS course information. Most administrative and student-facing systems sit behind ADFS/SAML single sign-on and are not publicly documented.

National University of Singapore publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Modules API and Venues API. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Singapore, and Research.

The National University of Singapore catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

National University of Singapore’s developer surface includes authentication and 9 more developer resources.
