The University of California, Los Angeles is a public land-grant research university in the University of California system, ranked 29th in the QS World University Rankings, and it is one of the few institutions in this cohort that genuinely runs a central API program rather than renting one. UCLA operates its own API gateway at api.ucla.edu, fronted by Apigee under a certificate issued to the university, and a Drupal/Apigee developer portal at developer.api.ucla.edu that catalogues eight API products. Seven of those products publish a real machine-readable contract, anonymously downloadable, and all seven describe routes on UCLA's own gateway - six Swagger 2.0 contracts covering the student information system (classes, class sections, courses, GE foundations, a 61-operation Registrar data dictionary, the mainframe production calendar, a connectivity health check and the MyUCLA portal menu) plus one OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract for a campus weather station. Ninety-one operations in total, every one of them a read. UCLA also runs its own Shibboleth identity provider, registered by InCommon under entityID urn:mace:incommon:ucla.edu with REFEDS Research & Scholarship and SIRTFI certification - the most complete machine-readable artifact the university publishes, and the one no API catalogue had looked at. UCLA Library self-hosts a Cantaloupe IIIF image server, a Hyrax digital collections platform and a Dataverse instance, all on ucla.edu hosts under UCLA's own TLS certificates. What UCLA does not have is any way in: every credential requires a UCLA logon and a human approval, there is no self-service path, no status page, no changelog, no llms.txt, no machine-readable catalog index, and no rate-limit or error documentation. The learning management system, BruinLearn, is Instructure Canvas on a vanity subdomain and is recorded as a tenant relationship rather than as UCLA engineering.
University of California, Los Angeles publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Class Sections API, Classes API, Courses API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, United States, and California.
The University of California, Los Angeles catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of California, Los Angeles’ developer surface includes API reference, documentation, support, GitHub presence, engineering blog, code examples, authentication, and 31 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ucla: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

x-coverage:
state: gated
reason: approval_required_no_self_service
detail: UCLA is the strongest institution-operated API program measured in this cohort so far and it is still not consumable.
Seven real OpenAPI contracts covering 91 operations are anonymously downloadable from the developer portal, and every
route they describe is live on UCLA's own Apigee gateway - a documented SIS path returns 401 with oauth.v2.InvalidAccessToken
and a conformant RFC 6750 Bearer challenge, which proves the contracts describe real endpoints. But a credential exists
only after a developer signs in with a UCLA logon, creates an App, selects an API Product and a campus unit approves the
request. There is no public registration, no sandbox, no trial key. The portal states plainly that most APIs are only
visible after log on, so the eight catalogued products are a subset of an unknown whole. Two secondary limits are recorded
rather than treated as findings about UCLA - dataverse.ucla.edu and digital.library.ucla.edu both answer 200 with an Anubis
proof-of-work bot challenge on every path, so OAI-PMH, Dataverse version and DOI prefix could not be read and are not
claimed; and UCLA Library's Cantaloupe IIIF server answers 403 with a stack trace for every identifier including a deliberate
nonsense control, so no manifest could be retrieved. This is a correct gated profile, not a failed probe - roughly 60
URLs were fetched successfully across 15 hosts, including 7 contracts, signed federation metadata and 3 live error surfaces.
