University of California, San Diego

University of California, San Diego is a public research university in La Jolla, California, and a campus of the University of California system. Its programmable footprint is real but almost entirely inward-facing, and the honest summary is that UC San Diego operates infrastructure rather than publishing products. Four surfaces are genuinely institution-operated: TritonAI, an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway running on the campus Data Science and Machine Learning Platform at tritonai-api.ucsd.edu, which publishes a live OpenAPI document and a SCIM 2.0 provisioning surface; a WSO2 API Manager 4.1.0 gateway at api.ucsd.edu whose catalogue is closed to anonymous clients; a Shibboleth identity provider registered in InCommon as urn:mace:incommon:ucsd.edu, whose SAML metadata is the one fully public machine-readable contract the institution has; and the Library Digital Collections, a locally developed Fedora/Solr repository that answers undocumented but live JSON at library.ucsd.edu/dc. What is NOT UC San Diego's own engineering is the campus API portal — collab.ucsd.edu redirects to an Atlassian Confluence Cloud tenant — and the DOI registration behind the repository, which runs on a California Digital Library DataCite account. There is no open, self-service, externally documented API; every campus API requires a UC San Diego Single Sign-On account or an issued credential, and the institution says so plainly.

University of California, San Diego publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including TritonAI Developer API — chat, TritonAI Developer API — completions, TritonAI Developer API — embeddings, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Public Research University, and UC System.

The University of California, San Diego catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

University of California, San Diego’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, GitHub presence, status page, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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/ucsd: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: 'Probed 2026-08-19 across every surface class a university actually operates. UC San Diego has more institution-operated
    infrastructure than most of this cohort, but almost none of it is open: the TritonAI gateway publishes its OpenAPI anonymously
    yet gates every call behind an issued key; the WSO2 gateway at api.ucsd.edu answers its settings endpoint anonymously
    and then returns 401 on the API catalogue because it runs with IsAnonymousModeEnabled=false; the Library Digital Collections
    JSON is fully open but undocumented, so it is described here from probes rather than from anything UC San Diego published.
    Course catalog (catalog.ucsd.edu, act.ucsd.edu) is HTML only with no data interface. No open data portal exists — data.ucsd.edu
    does not resolve. No OAI-PMH and no IIIF surface exists anywhere on a ucsd.edu host, contrary to what an earlier version
    of this profile assumed. The one collection-worthy artifact this pipeline can hold in full is the InCommon SAML metadata,
    which is public, machine-readable and complete.'

  description: 'UC San Diego Library mints DOIs for its Digital Collections under DataCite repository account CDL.UCSD ("UC
    San Diego", registered 2012), prefix 10.6075. 22,934 DOIs resolve to library.ucsd.edu/dc landing pages. TENANT: the DOIs,
    the metadata and the landing pages are UC San Diego''s, but the registration API is DataCite''s and the membership is
    held through the California Digital Library, so the contract is not the institution''s and is not saved here. Recorded
    because it is a real institutional fact and satisfies the education regime''s `datacite` domain standard.'
