# UCLouvain **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/uclouvain/ **Website:** https://uclouvain.be/en/index.html **APIs profiled:** 39 UCLouvain (Universite catholique de Louvain) is Belgium's largest French-speaking university, based in Louvain-la-Neuve, and is ranked #203 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is concentrated in open science and library infrastructure rather than a single unified developer portal: the institution operates an institutional Dataverse open-data repository and the DIAL (Digital Access to Libraries) institutional repository, both of which expose standards-based APIs (Dataverse Native/Search API and OAI-PMH metadata harvesting). UCLouvain also maintains a public GitHub organization and originated the open-source OSIS (Open Student Information System) project. No single gated, key-issuing developer portal was confirmed at the time of review. ## Kin Score — 29.1 / 100 (thin) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
