University of Bath

The University of Bath is a public research university in Bath, United Kingdom, ranked #150 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is centered on scholarly metadata rather than a commercial developer program: an Elsevier Pure research portal exposing an OAI-PMH interface, an EPrints 3.4 Research Data Archive with OAI-PMH and a REST interface, and an Ex Libris Alma/Primo library discovery platform. The University operates an Azure API Management developer portal, but the publicly reachable instance is a non-production ("test") environment with no openly documented production APIs. Administrative and identity services are gated behind institutional affiliation.

University of Bath publishes 21 APIs on the APIs.io network, including activity API, application API, authorCollaboration API, and 18 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, United Kingdom, and Research.

The University of Bath catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

University of Bath’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, and 9 more developer resources.
