description: 'The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a public land-grant research university in Los Angeles,
  California, ranked #30 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UCLA operates a centralized API Developer Portal (developer.api.ucla.edu)
  that publishes a catalog of campus APIs covering student information systems, course and class data, the Registrar data
  dictionary, MyUCLA menu data, and enterprise integration services. Most products are interactive-documented but gated behind
  an access request and approval workflow with App Key/secret credentials. UCLA Library additionally exposes IIIF-compliant
  digital collections manifests for image interoperability.'
