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. Like almost every university it is a federation of buyers rather than an API producer, and it operates no central developer portal, no API gateway, no public key issuance and no self-service onboarding of any kind. What it does operate is unusually real for this cohort, and all of it sits under unige.ch: the Archive ouverte UNIGE institutional repository runs on the University's OWN software (the Identify response reports "AoU v2.3.5", not DSpace, EPrints or Figshare) and serves a live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint anonymously; Yareta, the e-Research long-term research-data preservation platform built on the Swiss DLCM/Solidify stack that UNIGE itself leads, exposes access and ingest REST modules on its own hosts with one genuinely public configuration endpoint and everything else behind a bearer token; a self-hosted GitLab serves an anonymous REST API over 1,146 public projects; and the Terminus protein-prediction service offers a small anonymous research API. UNIGE's strongest machine-readable surface is one universities are rarely credited for: its own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 Identity Provider, registered in the SWITCHaai national federation alongside 122 other unige.ch entities. Its library is a tenancy, not an asset — Ex Libris Alma/Primo operated by the SLSP consortium — and its DOI, publication and organization identifiers are registry memberships at DataCite, Crossref and ROR. There is no open-data portal, no course-catalog API (pgc.unige.ch soft-404s every /api path back to its own HTML) and no teaching-and-learning interoperability surface.

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

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 documentation, GitHub presence, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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-geneva: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  reason: covered
  detail: 'Four institution-operated API surfaces were found and verified live on unige.ch hosts (Archive ouverte OAI-PMH,
    Yareta access/ingest, self-hosted GitLab REST v4, Terminus), plus the University''s own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 IdP in SWITCHaai
    and three identifier-registry memberships. Three limits are worth stating plainly rather than padding around. First, the
    only machine-readable contract UNIGE has is Yareta''s, and its origin is gated: /v3/api-docs on both access.yareta.unige.ch
    and ingest.yareta.unige.ch return 401, so the OpenAPI in this repo is a derived conversion and is now stamped as such
    rather than being credited to the institution. Second, several plausible surfaces were probed and are genuinely absent:
    api.unige.ch, developers.unige.ch and opendata.unige.ch do not resolve; data.unige.ch exists but is an institutional data-governance
    site, not an open-data portal; and the course catalog at pgc.unige.ch soft-404s — /api and /main/api both return 200 with
    the identical 47,894-byte catalog HTML, which is presence without a surface. Third, sparql.unige.ch is registered in SWITCHaai
    but does not resolve publicly, and doc.eresearch.unige.ch/api returns 200 carrying a DokuWiki "this topic does not exist
    yet" body, so neither was credited. No terms-of-service or privacy-policy pointer is emitted because none was found on
    www.unige.ch by footer crawl or direct probe of eight candidate paths.'
