University of Freiburg

The University of Freiburg (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) is a public research university in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, founded in 1457 and ranked #212 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a centralized public developer portal, but its university library (Universitätsbibliothek Freiburg) exposes several real, publicly reachable programmatic interfaces. The FreiDok plus institutional repository offers a JSON API and an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoint, and the FreiData research-data repository (built on InvenioRDM) provides a REST API. These are open, unauthenticated read endpoints intended for metadata harvesting and discovery rather than a formal developer program.

University of Freiburg publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Data.

The University of Freiburg catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

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.

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/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/university-of-freiburg: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
