The University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna) is the oldest university in the Western world and a leading Italian research institution, ranked #133 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint centers on open data and open scholarship rather than a unified developer portal: a CKAN-based open data portal at dati.unibo.it exposes a standard CKAN Action API over institutional datasets, and the AlmaDL AMS Acta institutional repository (EPrints) exposes an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface. The university also maintains an official open-source GitHub organization. Most administrative, course, and identity systems require institutional credentials and are not openly documented.
