University of Groningen
The University of Groningen (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, RUG/UG) is a public research university in Groningen, Netherlands, founded in 1614 and ranked #75 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer/API footprint is centered on research-output and research-data infrastructure: an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoint over its Pure CRIS research portal (OpenAIRE CERIF profile), the Elsevier Pure REST web-services API (live but API-key gated), and the shared DataverseNL data repository (Dataverse Native REST API) that serves as the UG default repository for research data and software. The University does not operate a single unified, self-service public developer portal; most institutional, SIS, timetable, and identity APIs are internal or gated. The University also maintains an official GitHub organization publishing open-source research-data and education tools.
University of Groningen publishes 73 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Access API, activity API, addFilesToDataset API, and 70 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Data.
The University of Groningen catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
University of Groningen’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
