Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) is a private research university in Seri Iskandar, Perak, Malaysia, established in 1997 and wholly owned by the national oil company PETRONAS. UTP publishes no developer portal, no API documentation and no OpenAPI of its own, and its main website — a SharePoint deployment — answers HTTP 200 to unknown /.well-known/ paths, so a presence check there proves nothing. What it does operate, verified by probe on 2026-09-01, is two self-hosted EPrints repositories on its own domain: UTPedia (utpedia.utp.edu.my, theses and final-year projects) and UTP Scholarly Publication (scholars.utp.edu.my, staff publications). Each serves an open OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint, an unauthenticated EPrints REST dataset interface, an OpenSearch description document and RSS feeds; UTPedia additionally serves per-record JSON. The institution runs its own Microsoft Entra ID tenant for single sign-on, whose SAML 2.0 federation metadata and OIDC discovery document are public — it is not in eduGAIN or the Malaysian SIFULAN federation. UTP is a Crossref member (prefix 10.61762, 405 DOIs) and holds ROR 048g2sh07. Its learning platforms (Moodle via Pukunui at ulearn, OpenLearning at ulearnplus), its Digital Commons journal archive at journal.utp.edu.my and its MyJMS journals are vendor-operated tenancies recorded here as relationships, not as UTP engineering. No course catalog, timetable, open-data portal or research-computing API was found on any public host.
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: UTPedia Institutional Repository and UTP Scholarly Publication Repository. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Malaysia, and Private Research University.
The Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS’s developer surface includes code examples, authentication, and 16 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare
no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's
denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to
upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

x-coverage:
state: covered
reason: covered
detail: 'Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS operates no general-purpose public API and publishes no developer documentation,
but it is not empty: two institution-hosted EPrints repositories expose OAI-PMH 2.0, an unauthenticated REST dataset interface,
OpenSearch and RSS on utp.edu.my hosts, and the institution''s own Entra ID tenant publishes SAML 2.0 federation metadata
and OIDC discovery. Four education-regime domain standards are evidenced — oai-pmh, saml, lti and crossref; shibboleth,
orcid and datacite were checked and are absent. Everything else that looks like a UTP API is a vendor tenancy (bepress
Digital Commons, Pukunui-hosted Moodle, OpenLearning, MOHE''s MyJMS) and is recorded as a relationship with x-operator
tenant, never as UTP''s contract. Two limits on this pass: myjms.mohe.gov.my, which hosts UTP''s two Platform journals,
refused connections from our probe host, so that tenancy is documented from Crossref metadata rather than probed directly;
and the institution''s SharePoint site returns soft 404s, so no negative conclusion was drawn from status codes alone
there.'
