University of Geneva

The University of Geneva (Université de Genève, UNIGE) is a public research university in Geneva, Switzerland, founded in 1559, and ranked #93 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is centered on open science and research infrastructure operated by the Division of Scientific Information (DIS) and the e-Research services: the Archive ouverte UNIGE institutional repository exposes metadata via a live OAI-PMH endpoint, the Yareta research-data-management platform (built on the DLCM stack) offers a REST API for preservation and access, and domain research groups publish specialized services such as the Terminus protein-prediction API. UNIGE maintains a public GitHub organization (dis-unige) for library and data tooling. There is no single unified public developer portal; most APIs are research- or service-specific.

University of Geneva publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Access API, Ingest API, and OAI-PMH API. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Open Science, and Research Data.

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

University of Geneva’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.
