Taylor's University is a private research university based in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, and ranked #251 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a formal, branded developer portal, but several real, publicly reachable machine interfaces exist across its library and research infrastructure. The Taylor's Library catalog runs on Koha (exposing a Koha REST API and an OAI-PMH data provider), and the Taylor's e-Repository runs on DSpace CRIS (exposing a HAL+JSON REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint). Identity is federated through Microsoft Entra ID. The institution's GitHub organization exists but currently has no public repositories.
