Stockholm University

Stockholm University (Stockholms universitet) is a public research university in Sweden and one of the country's largest, with roughly 33,000 students across four faculties. It operates no public developer portal, no API gateway and no first-party documented API: api.su.se, data.su.se and developer.su.se do not resolve, and www.su.se/api returns 404. What the institution genuinely runs and serves anonymously is narrow — a Shibboleth SAML2 identity provider at idp.it.su.se whose entity metadata is published by the university and registered in the SWAMID federation (and so in eduGAIN), the Bolin Centre Database research data repository on bolin.su.se minting its own DataCite DOIs under prefix 10.17043 since 2014, and a SiteVision REST sitemap on www.su.se that indexes every course syllabus in the education archive. Its two harvestable research surfaces are both tenancies rather than SU engineering: the DiVA OAI-PMH endpoint at su.diva-portal.org is operated by the DiVA consortium at Uppsala University Library, and su.figshare.com is a Figshare deployment. This profile previously credited Stockholm University with eleven APIs that were all one Figshare contract at api.figshare.com/v2; those contracts and everything derived from them have been removed and the two repository relationships recorded as tenant surfaces instead.

Stockholm University publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Research Data.

Stockholm University’s developer surface includes support and 18 more developer resources.

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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/stockholm: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: Stockholm University operates its own Shibboleth Identity Provider and publishes its SAML 2.0 entity metadata
    anonymously on its registrable domain. The document declares entityID https://idp.it.su.se/idp/shibboleth, an IDPSSODescriptor
    supporting urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol, and shibmd:Scope "su.se". The same entityID appears in the SWAMID IdP
    metadata aggregate published by SUNET, which makes SU machine-discoverable as an identity provider to every eduGAIN-federated
    service. This is the one surface in this profile that is unambiguously institution-operated engineering. It is a metadata
    document, not a REST API — there is no OpenAPI for it and none has been invented.

    every Figshare customer. Eleven per-tag copies of that Figshare OpenAPI were previously saved into this repository and
    attributed to Stockholm University; they have been removed, along with the schemas, structures, examples, rules, vocabulary,
    JSON-LD context, scopes, authentication summary, agentic-access card, capability edges and Postman/OpenCollection files
    derived from them. The relationship is kept here because it is a real institutional fact; the vendor's contract belongs
    in Figshare's own repo. The host answers anonymous requests with HTTP 202 and an empty body (bot challenge).

  detail: 'Stockholm University publishes no public, documented API of its own, and this profile now says so. The operator
    axis is the entire finding. Everything the June 2026 pass credited to SU — eleven per-tag OpenAPIs titled "Figshare altmetric
    ... API", all with servers[0] https://api.figshare.com/v2 and info.contact "Figshare Support" — was one vendor contract
    that twelve other institutions in this cohort also ship. Those 48 files (10 refined specs, the pristine Figshare source
    in openapi/_original, the refine report, 3 JSON Schemas, 2 JSON Structures, 2 examples, a JSON-LD context, 2 rulesets,
    a vocabulary, scopes, an authentication summary, an agentic-access card, a capability map and 21 collection files) have
    been removed file by file with git rm. Two tenant relationships were kept rather than deleted, because they are real institutional
    facts: the DiVA OAI-PMH endpoint (operated by the DiVA consortium at Uppsala University Library) and su.figshare.com.
    Two institution-operated surfaces were found by live probe and are new to this profile: the Shibboleth SAML2 IdP metadata
    at idp.it.su.se, registered in SWAMID and therefore eduGAIN, and the SiteVision /rest-api/sitemap education archive index
    on www.su.se. A third institution-operated asset, the Bolin Centre Database on bolin.su.se, mints DataCite DOIs under
    prefix 10.17043 (DataCite repository snd.bolin, active since 2014) but publishes no REST API, so it is recorded as a ResearchRepository
    pointer and as DataCite conformance rather than as an API. Four education-regime domain standards are evidenced in conformance/:
    shibboleth, saml, oai-pmh and datacite. Eight more (scim, lti, oneroster, ed-fi, caliper, qti, orcid, crossref) were probed
    and not found. Absences confirmed by negative probe rather than assumed: no developer portal, no API gateway, no open
    data portal, no llms.txt, no sitemap at the conventional path, no first-party security contact (su.se/.well-known/security.txt
    exists but names soc@sitevision.se, the CMS vendor''s SOC, not the university''s).'
