Sapienza University of Rome

Sapienza University of Rome (Sapienza Università di Roma) is Italy's largest university and ranked #132 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public machine-readable footprint is centered on research and library data rather than a unified developer portal: the IRIS institutional research catalogue exposes a DSpace OAI-PMH endpoint for harvesting research metadata, and the Sapienza Library System (Sistema Bibliotecario Sapienza) publishes open data and linked data following the 5-star open data model. There is no single official, documented public REST API gateway; identity is federated via the Italian IDEM Shibboleth/SAML federation. A GitHub organization carrying the Sapienza name exists but hosts research and coursework projects rather than official platform APIs.

Sapienza University of Rome publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Data.

The Sapienza University of Rome catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/sapienza-university-of-rome: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
