Autonomous University of Madrid
The Autonomous University of Madrid (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, UAM) is a public research university in Madrid, Spain, founded in 1968 and ranked #198 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UAM publishes no developer portal, no API terms and no OpenAPI description of anything, and it issues no API keys — but unlike most institutions in this cohort its machine-readable surfaces are genuinely its own rather than a vendor's contract running under its name. Every host carrying a surface below resolves inside RIPE inetnum 150.244.0.0 – 150.244.255.255, netname UAM, org ORG-UADM1-RIPE, with no CNAME to a vendor platform: UAM licenses DSpace, Open Journal Systems and Moodle and runs them on its own address space. What is anonymously consumable today is the Biblos-e Archivo repository (a DSpace 7.6.5 HAL REST API, an OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint and an OpenSearch descriptor) and a second OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint over the university's Open Journal Systems journals portal at revistas.uam.es. Beyond that, UAM operates a Shibboleth service provider on its own repository host, is registered as an identity provider in SIR/eduGAIN through RedIRIS, runs two Moodle instances that publish live LTI 1.3 signing keys, and is a Crossref member minting DOIs under prefix 10.15366. No vendor product specification is stored in this repository: a generic DSpace, OJS or Moodle contract describes the vendor's engineering, not UAM's.
Autonomous University of Madrid publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Spain, and Public Research University.
The Autonomous University of Madrid catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
Autonomous University of Madrid’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, code examples, and 12 more developer resources.
9 APIs
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

description: HAL-based REST API for Biblos-e Archivo, UAM's institutional repository, running DSpace 7.6.5. Anonymously
readable, HATEOAS-navigable access to communities, collections, items, bitstreams, discovery search and configuration
covering the university's open-access scientific, teaching and academic output. The entry document reports dspaceName
"Biblos-e Archivo. Repositorio Institucional de la UAM" and dspaceVersion "DSpace 7.6.5", and an OpenSearch 1.1 description
document is published alongside it. Write access is challenged with Shibboleth against UAM's own service provider. The
software is DSpace's; the deployment, the host, the content and the Handle prefix 10486 are UAM's, which is why the deployment
is recorded here and DSpace's generic product specification is not.

service at /mod/lti/token.php that returns a well-formed OAuth error to an unsigned request. The Moodle web services REST
endpoint is enabled and answering with a Moodle invalidtoken exception, meaning tokens exist but are issued only by UAM
administrators. Recorded as one surface rather than split per protocol: it is one deployment, and splitting it would inflate
the footprint the way this cohort was inflated before.'

x-coverage:
state: covered
reason: covered
detail: 'UAM''s programmable footprint was reached and read directly, not inferred. Four anonymously readable institution-operated
endpoints returned real payloads on probe — the DSpace 7.6.5 HAL REST API, its OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint and its OpenSearch
descriptor on repositorio.uam.es, and a second OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint over the Open Journal Systems journals portal on revistas.uam.es.
Three further institution-operated surfaces are live but gated by institutional identity: a Shibboleth service provider
on the repository host, the two Moodle instances'' LTI 1.3 key and token services, and the Moodle web services endpoint.
Two registry memberships (Crossref 10.15366, ROR 01cby8j38) and one federation registration (SIR/eduGAIN) were confirmed
against the registries themselves.
What UAM does not have is equally settled and is stated rather than padded: no developer portal, no published OpenAPI
or AsyncAPI for anything, no API terms of service, no API key or OAuth client issuance, no open-data portal (datosabiertos.uam.es
and transparencia.uam.es do not resolve; www.uam.es/uam/datos-abiertos returns 404), no DataCite membership (api.datacite.org/clients
returns zero matches for "uam" and "autonoma"; the repository issues Handle identifiers under prefix 10486 instead), and
no official institutional GitHub organization — github.com/uam has zero public repositories and no name, and every other
UAM-named org found is a research group or student society. No SCIM, OneRoster, Ed-Fi, Caliper or QTI endpoint was found.
Two access conditions were encountered and are recorded as facts about us, not findings about UAM. revistas.uam.es fronts
browser User-Agents with an Anubis proof-of-work challenge that answers HTTP 200 on every path including nonexistent ones;
probing it with a plain User-Agent dissolved the challenge and revealed the real OJS installation. And portalcientifico.uam.es,
the research portal linked from UAM''s own library page, resolves to 45.151.245.19 — outside UAM address space, in RIPE-administered
NL space — and never completes a TLS handshake (curl exit 28 at 45 s), so it could not be classified and is not recorded
as a surface.'
