University of Lausanne

The University of Lausanne (UNIL) is a public research university in Lausanne, Switzerland, ranked #224 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. With roughly 17,000 students across seven faculties, UNIL maintains an Open Science strategy and a Kong-based internal API gateway underpinning its digital services. Its public developer footprint is modest and research-oriented: the SPICA single-cell spatial atlas exposes a documented JSON API, and the IRIS institutional repository is served by a public DSpace REST API. Most institutional and student-information APIs sit behind the my.unil.ch authentication gateway and are not publicly documented.

University of Lausanne publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Core API, IRIS Repository (DSpace REST API) API, Projects API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Switzerland, and Open Science.

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

University of Lausanne’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, authentication, and 8 more developer resources.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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/.
