Stanford University
Stanford University is a private research university in Stanford, California. Unusually for a higher-education institution, essentially its entire programmable footprint is genuinely institution-operated rather than a vendor tenancy: every surface listed here runs on a stanford.edu host. Stanford Libraries (SUL-DLSS) publishes five first-party OpenAPI contracts for the Stanford Digital Repository — SDR, DOR Services, Technical Metadata, Preservation Catalog and SURI, 76 operations, Apache 2.0, on its own GitHub org — though the services themselves sit on the internal network. Public and open without credentials are PURL (XML/MODS/IIIF Presentation 2.1 off purl.stanford.edu), the Library Hours JSON:API, and the Registrar's ExploreCourses XML query interface, which reports its own deprecation in every response body. University IT runs the certificate-gated MaIS Registry web services (Account, Person, Student, CourseClass, Privilege, Workgroup) and a metered AI API Gateway keyed to a Stanford billing account. Stanford also publishes signed Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity-provider metadata at idp.stanford.edu — machine-readable identity federation that most universities never get catalogued. What is missing is equally clear: no OAI-PMH provider was found on any Stanford host, no institution-operated open-data portal, no OAuth scopes, no contact or terms in any contract, no examples on any of the 76 operations, and no unified developer portal spanning the Libraries and University IT surfaces.
Stanford University publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including About API, Authentication API, Catalog API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Research, and United States.
The Stanford University catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Stanford University’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, GitHub presence, authentication, status page, support, code examples, and 30 more developer resources.

x-coverage:
state: covered
reason: institution_operated_surfaces_verified
detail: 'Every surface in this profile was probed live on 2026-08-19 and every one resolves to a host under stanford.edu
— the operator axis came back `institution` for all fifteen entries, with zero tenant and zero vendor attributions. No
Figshare, Pure, Ex Libris, Dataverse or Symplectic contract is or was attributed to Stanford. Five first-party OpenAPI
contracts were recovered from the sul-dlss GitHub org and judged institution-operated by their own servers[] (all *.stanford.edu)
and info.title, not by where they were fetched. Three genuine absences are recorded rather than padded: OAI-PMH is not
present (six verb=Identify probes, all 404), ORCID could not be evidenced, and there is no institution-operated open-data
portal. Three discovery applications — searchworks, exhibits and earthworks — sit behind an F5/Shape bot defense that
returns a 200 JavaScript challenge to any client; they are LIVE for humans and unreadable to us, which is a limitation
of the probe, not a finding about Stanford.'
