University of Calgary

The University of Calgary is a public research university in Calgary, Alberta and a member of the U15 group of Canadian research universities. It operates no central developer portal and no campus-wide API programme; what it does operate is a small number of genuinely institution-run scientific and scholarly surfaces, and a larger number of vendor-platform tenancies that carry the university's name. The real institution-operated APIs both belong to the Space Remote Sensing group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy: the UCalgary Space Remote Sensing API at api.phys.ucalgary.ca, which self-publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document and includes a conformant HAPI 3.3 Heliophysics time-series server, and the AuroraX auroral-science API at api.aurorax.space, which runs on the same University of Calgary netblock. Alongside them the university runs its own Open Journal Systems installation with a live OAI-PMH endpoint and a keyless MediaWiki Action API for Research Computing Services documentation. Everything else is a tenancy: PRISM, the institutional repository, is a DSpace tenant on the consortial Scholaris service; the research-data collection is a Dataverse collection on Borealis; the academic calendar is on Coursedog; the identity federation is a Microsoft Entra ID tenant. There is no course-catalog, transit, dining or campus-life API, and www.ucalgary.ca serves a soft 404 on every unknown path, so link presence there is never evidence.

University of Calgary publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auroral Transport Model (ATM) API, Data Distribution API, SRS HAPI (Heliophysics API) Server, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Public Research University, and Canada.

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

University of Calgary’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, GitHub presence, engineering blog, support, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/university-of-calgary: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: 'Two institution-operated API contracts were found, verified live and saved: the UCalgary Space Remote Sensing API
    (OpenAPI 3.1 self-published at api.phys.ucalgary.ca/openapi.json, v1.66.0, 22 paths, 6 tags) and the AuroraX API (OpenAPI
    3.0.1 at api.aurorax.space/api/openapi.json, 33 paths, 8 tags). Both hosts resolve inside the ARIN U-CALGARY netblock
    136.159.0.0/16. Two further institution-operated deployments of shared products were recorded without saving the product''s
    contract: an OJS 3.4.0.10 OAI-PMH endpoint at journalhosting.ucalgary.ca and a MediaWiki 1.43.3 Action API at rcs.ucalgary.ca.
    Four tenant relationships were recorded: PRISM on Scholaris, the research-data collection on Borealis Dataverse, the academic
    calendar on Coursedog, and the SAML/OIDC identity federation on Microsoft Entra ID. No course-catalog, library-discovery,
    transit, dining, room-booking or open-data-portal API is published: api.ucalgary.ca, data.ucalgary.ca, developer.ucalgary.ca,
    courses.ucalgary.ca and catalog.ucalgary.ca do not resolve, open.ucalgary.ca soft-404s, and the Coursedog catalog API
    returns 401 Unauthenticated. Nothing was blocked; every verdict here rests on a probe.'

    2.0 endpoint, and has ORCID integration configured with a registered client id. The DSpace contract is the platform's
