# University of Bath **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/university-of-bath/ **Website:** https://www.bath.ac.uk/ **APIs profiled:** 26 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. ## Kin Score — 36.9 / 100 (thin) Scored 2026-08-21 under rubric 0.12.0.
