University of Bologna
The University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna) is the oldest university in the Western world, founded in 1088, and Italy's largest public research university, ranked #133 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It publishes no OpenAPI, runs no developer portal and issues no API keys, and this profile does not pretend otherwise. What it does operate, on its own unibo.it hosts and its own network (137.204.24.0/24), is an unusually deep set of standards-based machine surfaces for a university: a CKAN 2.6.9 open data portal serving the CKAN Action API at dati.unibo.it; four separate live OAI-PMH 2.0 providers run by the AlmaDL digital library — AMS Acta (institutional research repository, EPrints, ten metadata formats including oai_datacite and openaire_oai_dc), AMS Tesi di Dottorato (doctoral theses), AMS Tesi di Laurea (graduate theses) and AlmaDL Journals (Open Journal Systems, 100 open-access journals); a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider, entityID https://shib.unibo.it/idp/shibboleth, published as machine-readable metadata both on its own host and in the IDEM GARR AAI federation aggregate; and a self-hosted Moodle at virtuale.unibo.it exposing a live LTI 1.3 platform surface (JWKS plus an OAuth2 token endpoint) alongside a token-gated Moodle Web Services REST API. Its DataCite registration (provider UYEY, five prefixes, 32,291 DOIs), its Crossref membership (member 32492, prefix 10.60923, 1,170 DOIs) and its ROR identifier 01111rn36 are verifiable from public registry endpoints. Two further surfaces are the university's data on someone else's platform and are recorded as tenancies, not as its contracts: the IRIS research information system at cris.unibo.it CNAMEs to unibo.prod.iris.cineca.it (CINECA), and the AlmaStart library discovery layer at almastart.unibo.it CNAMEs to unibo.primo.exlibrisgroup.com (Ex Libris Primo VE). The university's generative-AI policy is a real governance artifact but exists only on the Italian surface. Administrative, student-record and course-catalogue systems are behind institutional SSO and are not openly documented.
University of Bologna publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Italy, and Europe.
The University of Bologna catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
University of Bologna’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, and 17 more developer resources.
12 APIs
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

machine surfaces for a university: a CKAN 2.6.9 open data portal serving the CKAN Action API at dati.unibo.it; four separate
live OAI-PMH 2.0 providers run by the AlmaDL digital library — AMS Acta (institutional research repository, EPrints, ten
metadata formats including oai_datacite and openaire_oai_dc), AMS Tesi di Dottorato (doctoral theses), AMS Tesi di Laurea

Action API contract is the product''s, shared by every CKAN portal, so no OpenAPI is saved under this institution. Honest
caveat on liveness: after the two successful probes above, this host stopped answering our client entirely — TCP 443 still
accepts a connection but no HTTP response is returned within 60s. That is a rate-limit or WAF reaction to our own probing,
not evidence the service is down, and it is recorded here rather than silently omitted.'

hosts and all three are closed — the OJS API v1 returns 403 api.403.unauthorized, Moodle Web Services returns invalidtoken,
and the IRIS DSpace REST API returns 401 basic-auth — recorded in authentication/ rather than counted as callable. Two
tenancies were recorded rather than deleted or credited: cris.unibo.it CNAMEs to unibo.prod.iris.cineca.it (CINECA IRIS)
and almastart.unibo.it CNAMEs to unibo.primo.exlibrisgroup.com (Ex Libris Primo VE, tenant code 39UBO_INST). The institutional
generative-AI policy is a live governance artifact but is published only in Italian — the English path /en/university/statute-rules-strategies-budget/artificial-intelligence
is a 404 — so it is pointed at on the Italian surface. api.unibo.it does not resolve; www.unibo.it serves neither llms.txt
nor security.txt; the official GitHub org github.com/unibo holds 8 repositories (Plone themes, a LimeSurvey plugin, a
Redmine plugin) and no API specification. ORCID identifiers were not found in any metadata the university serves. No Figshare,
Pure, Symplectic or Dataverse contract was found or added.'
