# University of Göttingen **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/university-of-gottingen/ **Website:** https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/ **APIs profiled:** 35 The University of Göttingen (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) is a public research university in Lower Saxony, Germany, ranked #254 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is delivered mainly through campus partners: the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB Göttingen) publishes digital-library interfaces such as the IIIF Image/ Presentation APIs and a custom TextAPI for digitized objects, while the Göttingen eResearch Alliance operates the GRO.data (Göttingen Research Online) Dataverse research-data repository, which exposes an OAI-PMH endpoint and a Dataverse REST search API. There is no single official institution-wide developer portal; identity is handled via SAML/Shibboleth and OpenID Connect AAI run with GWDG. ## Kin Score — 32.4 / 100 (thin) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
