Princeton University

aid: princeton
name: Princeton University
description: 'Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton, New Jersey, ranked #13 in the
  QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer footprint is modest and centers on the Princeton University Art
  Museum API, an open, no-authentication REST service for collections data. Most institutional APIs (the OIT API Store covering
  Active Directory, PrincetonInfo, and the MobileApp course/dining/places data) are gated behind NetID/service-account OAuth2
  and campus access. Library and research-data systems expose metadata through standard protocols such as OAI-PMH.'

  name: Princeton OIT API Store
  description: Princeton Office of Information Technology API gateway. Default APIs include ActiveDirectory (user/group lookups)
    and PrincetonInfo (department data); a MobileApp API exposes course, dining, and campus places data. Endpoints are OAuth2-protected
    and require a NetID or service-account subscription, so access is gated to the campus community rather than the public.
