The University of Florida (UF) is a public land-grant research university in Gainesville, Florida, United States, and a member of the Association of American Universities. UF publishes no developer portal, no API documentation, no terms of use and no versioning or changelog for anything it operates — but, unusually for this cohort, it does operate real machine-readable surfaces on its own infrastructure rather than only renting a vendor's. Two public HTTP/JSON APIs run inside UF's own ARIN allocation (128.227.0.0/16, NetName UFNET) under InCommon-issued certificates: the Schedule of Courses API behind ONE.UF, which serves the full course catalog for 49 terms with an AI-curriculum filter as a first-class parameter, and the Smathers Libraries Patron API behind the UF Digital Collections, a self-documenting 17-resource read API that also serves a conformant OAI-PMH 2.0 repository in Dublin Core and MODS 3.7. UF additionally runs its own Shibboleth identity provider, registered in InCommon and interfederated into eduGAIN with REFEDS Research & Scholarship and Sirtfi commitments. Everything else in UF's footprint is somebody else's engineering under a UF hostname — Canvas, CourseLeaf, LiveWhale — or is gated behind GatorLink authentication, as data.ufl.edu is.
University of Florida publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Discovery API, Filters API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Public Research University, and United States.
The University of Florida catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of Florida’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, documentation, API reference, 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare
no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's
denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to
upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Interfaces this provider implements that became standards by being copied rather than ratified. Each is profiled by the API Commons, and the evidence column says how the claim was established — not that it was made.

the education regime: oai-pmh, shibboleth and saml conformant institution-operated, crossref registered.
Three corrections were made against the June 2026 profile. First, the UF Digital Collections OAI-PMH surface it pointed
at, ufdc.ufl.edu/sobekcm_oai.aspx, is a SOFT-404 — HTTP 200 carrying the React app shell — and the live OAI-PMH 2.0 repository
is on a different host entirely, api.patron.uflib.ufl.edu/oai, found by reading the UFDC client''s build-time environment
module. Second, one.ufl.edu/llms.txt returns 200 but is likewise the SPA shell, not an llms.txt, and is not credited.
Third, the cohort DNS pass reported no CNAME tenancy for this repo; two were found by hand — catalog.ufl.edu CNAMEs to
ufl-public.courseleaf.com and calendar.ufl.edu CNAMEs to ufl-prod.lwcal.com. Both are recorded as tenant relationships
rather than deleted, and neither vendor''s contract is saved here.
What is genuinely absent: no open data portal (data.ufl.edu redirects to GatorLink SSO), no DataCite membership (probed,
zero results), no public ORCID integration, no SCIM/LTI/OneRoster/Caliper/QTI surface of UF''s own, no developer portal,
no API documentation, no versioning, no changelog, no status page, no rate-limit signal and no terms of use for either
API. The campus map JSON is live but WAF-blocked to every non-browser client. The UniversityofFlorida GitHub org holds
three repositories, all untouched since 2018.'
