**APIs profiled:** 3

Tel Aviv University (TAU) is Israel's largest public research university, located in Tel Aviv, and is ranked #209 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. TAU does not publish a centralized, public developer portal or open-data API program. Its confirmed machine-accessible surface is limited to standard third-party platform endpoints: an ExLibris Primo discovery interface (institution code 972TAU_INST:TAU) backed by an Alma library services platform that exposes the usual Primo Search REST API and Alma OAI-PMH harvesting endpoints. Student-built, unofficial tooling also scrapes/wraps TAU's Moodle and information-management (IMS) systems. No officially documented, self-service public API was found.
