Purdue University is a public land-grant research university in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States, ranked #99 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is limited and largely community- or service-specific rather than a single centralized developer portal. Confirmed public interfaces include the community-built Purdue.io OData course-catalog API and the Purdue University Research Repository (PURR) OAI-PMH metadata endpoint. A Purdue Libraries API host exists but currently serves only a placeholder page.
