National University of Singapore

aid: nus
name: National University of Singapore
description: '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.'
