University of Gothenburg
The University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs universitet) is a public research university in Sweden, founded in 1891, with roughly 37,000 students and 6,000 employees. Its programmable footprint is larger and more genuinely its own than the June 2026 profile of this repository recorded, and it is concentrated in one place: Språkbanken Text, the Swedish Language Bank's text division at the Department of Swedish, Multilingualism, Language Technology. Språkbanken publishes SIX OpenAPI documents from a single documentation index at ws.spraakbanken.gu.se/docs — Korp (corpus concordance search over 1,133 corpora), Karp v7 and Karp search v1 (lexical resources), Mink (upload, annotate and publish your own corpus), Sparv (the annotation pipeline as a job service) and the Språkbanken Text Metadata API (a 1,499-resource catalogue with BibTeX export). All six run on University of Gothenburg hosts, carry sb-info@svenska.gu.se as contact, and answered anonymous requests with HTTP 200 on 2026-09-01. The Gothenburg University Library separately operates GUPEA on DSpace 8.3, exposing both an OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint (fourteen metadata formats, including the Swedish national uppsok thesis profile) and a HAL+JSON REST API on gupea.ub.gu.se. The University also runs its own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider, published as machine-readable metadata through SWAMID and eduGAIN. What is thin here is PRODUCT, not surface. There is no central developer portal, no API programme, no changelog, no status page, no rate-limit signal, no support channel and no documented credential-issuance route for any of the write surfaces. Five of the six contracts declare a security scheme and not one explains how to obtain a credential; two of them publish relative servers[] and no contact at all. This is a research unit's engineering that happens to be excellent, published without any of the institutional scaffolding that would make it findable. Everything else that looks like a University of Gothenburg API is a relationship rather than a contract — DOI registration with DataCite through the Swedish National Data Service and with Crossref directly, a Microsoft Entra tenancy on medarbetarportalen.gu.se — and those are recorded here with x-operator and no vendor contract stored.
University of Gothenburg publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Korp API v8 — Corpus Concordance Search, Språkbanken Text Metadata API v3, Mink API v3 — Bring Your Own Corpus, and 4 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Sweden, and Research.
The University of Gothenburg catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of Gothenburg’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, GitHub presence, support, code examples, authentication, and 31 more developer resources.
6 APIs
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

x-coverage:

detail: 'Real probes ran and found real institution-operated surfaces — considerably more than the June 2026 profile of
this repository recorded. Eight surfaces are the University''s own and were verified anonymously at HTTP 200 on 2026-09-01:
six Språkbanken Text APIs, each with a PUBLISHED OpenAPI document (Korp, Metadata, Mink, Sparv, Karp v7, Karp search v1),
plus the GUPEA DSpace 8.3 REST API and the GUPEA OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint. A ninth, the University''s own Shibboleth SAML
2.0 identity provider, resolves to public metadata both directly and through SWAMID/eduGAIN.
Two host-independent classes were found and repaired rather than deleted. Karp v7 and Karp search v1 are HOSTLESS as published
— relative servers[] and no info.contact — so nothing in either document names its operator; both were attributed by the
gu.se host serving them and re-based in openapi/, with the relative originals preserved unchanged in openapi/_original/.
The DataCite membership is invisible to name search (both /providers?query=gothenburg and /clients?query=gothenburg return
zero) and was found only by resolving a DOI the University minted.
What is thin is DOCUMENTATION AND PRODUCT, not surface. There is no central developer portal — api.gu.se and data.gu.se
do not resolve — no changelog, no status page, no rate-limit signal, no support channel for any API, and no documented
credential-issuance route for any of the five declared security schemes. No AI policy or AI-tooling pointer was found
on any English- or Swedish-language gu.se URL probed in this run, so none is claimed. No public course-catalog or timetable
API exists: kursplaner.gu.se returns 404 and the programme catalogue is HTML only. One Språkbanken service, Strix, is
registered at the edge but returned HTTP 503.
One probe limitation to declare. www.gu.se serves nginx HTTP 403 for unknown paths, including /.well-known/security.txt
and /llms.txt. That is a blanket edge deny, NOT evidence that those files were considered and withheld, and neither absence
is scored here.'
