Technical University of Munich

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is a public research university in Munich, Germany, ranked #47 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. TUM does not operate a single centralized, commercial developer portal; instead its most visible public API footprint is community- and student-driven through the TUM-Dev open-source organization on GitHub, which builds and operates the Campus App ecosystem. Confirmed public, unauthenticated APIs include NavigaTUM (a Rust/MeiliSearch service to search rooms, buildings, and places, documented with an OpenAPI 3.0 spec) and eat-api (a static JSON API for Munich student canteen menus and prices). The institution's central research information system, TUMFIS, runs on Elsevier Pure but exposes no documented public API.

Technical University of Munich publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including calendar API, feedback API, locations API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Germany, and Open Source.

The Technical University of Munich catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Technical University of Munich’s developer surface includes GitHub presence and 14 more developer resources.
