Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), founded in 1896 and located in Shanghai, China (Mainland), is one of China's top research universities and is ranked #56 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. SJTU operates an official developer platform (developer.sjtu.edu.cn) that exposes internal data resources and infrastructure to authorized developers. Its public-facing programmable footprint centers on the jAccount single sign-on system (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect) and a GraphQL-based data resources platform covering account, faculty, undergraduate teaching, and academic paper data. Access to the data APIs is gated behind an application and approval process; the SSO/OIDC integration is documented publicly.
