University of Antwerp

The University of Antwerp (Universiteit Antwerpen) is a public research university in Antwerp, Belgium, ranked #267 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is centered on its library and scholarly infrastructure: the university library's software department, Anet, builds the open-source Brocade library management system and publishes code via the anet-be GitHub organization. The Institutional Repository University of Antwerp (IRUA) exposes scholarly metadata through a standards-based OAI-PMH interface. The university does not operate a general-purpose commercial developer portal; administrative, student-information, and identity systems are gated behind institutional affiliation rather than offered as public self-service APIs.

The University of Antwerp catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
