# REDCap (Vanderbilt)

**Website:** https://projectredcap.org/  
**APIs profiled:** 1

REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is secure web software for building and managing online surveys and research databases, created at Vanderbilt and licensed at no cost to non-profit members of the REDCap Consortium. Each institution installs and runs its own server, so there is no central API host: every installation exposes its own token-authenticated /api/ endpoint, and the core API reference sits behind that installation's login.
