TU Wien

TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology, TU Wien) is Austria's largest science and technology university, founded in 1815, with more than 30,000 students and eight faculties. It is ranked #190 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, documented developer footprint centers on research infrastructure: the TU Wien Research Data repository exposes a public REST API and an OAI-PMH interface built on InvenioRDM, and the reposiTUm open-access institutional repository (DSpace-CRIS) exposes OAI-PMH for metadata harvesting. Several departmental GitHub organizations publish open-source code, but there is no single unified, public developer portal for the university as a whole.

TU Wien publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research Data, and Open Access.

The TU Wien catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

TU Wien’s developer surface includes GitHub presence and 8 more developer resources.
