The University of Chicago is a private research university in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1890. It operates no central developer portal and publishes no institution-wide API programme, and the one gated portal it does run — an Azure API Management front end for Azure OpenAI at ai-api-portal-dev.uchicago.edu — serves a certificate that does not match its own hostname and, with verification disabled, answers a bare Azure Application Gateway 404, so it is not a public surface. What it does operate is unusually real for a university, because UChicago is a genuine PRODUCER of open-source data infrastructure rather than only a buyer of it: the Center for Translational Data Science (CTDS, github.com/uc-cdis) authors the Gen3 data-commons platform and runs its own reference commons at gen3.datacommons.io, a domain registered to CDIS at the University. The OpenAPI documents in this repository are CTDS's own contracts (info.contact cdis@uchicago.edu, termsOfService cdis.uchicago.edu), not a vendor's running under the institution's name. Alongside that the institution operates a Shibboleth identity provider whose InCommon SAML metadata is public (entityID urn:mace:incommon:uchicago.edu), Knowledge@UChicago on self-hosted InvenioRDM 13.1 with a live REST API and an OAI-PMH 2.0 responder advertising DataCite metadata, the OCHRE ancient-studies data service, and IIIF Presentation 3.0 and Image 2.0 endpoints for library digital collections. Course catalog and registrar data remain behind PeopleSoft authentication, the VuFind catalog API is deployed with its API permissions denied, and there is no open-data portal — data.uchicago.edu is the Office of Institutional Analysis's reporting site, not a machine-readable catalog.
University of Chicago publishes 45 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Gen3 Fence — admin/user API, Gen3 indexd — alias API, Gen3 indexd — bulk API, and 42 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Private Research University, and United States.
The University of Chicago catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
University of Chicago’s developer surface includes engineering blog, GitHub presence, support, documentation, API reference, authentication, and 26 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/.
Show this score on your site.
It updates itself when the score changes. Paste this where you link to your API docs:

Raise your score.
Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
MCP Server+12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
