University of Lisbon

The University of Lisbon (Universidade de Lisboa, ULisboa) is Portugal's largest public university — 18 schools plus the National Museum of Natural History and Science — and it is a federation of buyers rather than a producer of APIs. It runs no central developer portal, publishes no OpenAPI of its own, and has no open data portal: data.ulisboa.pt and dados.ulisboa.pt do not resolve, and the institution has no organization on the national portal dados.gov.pt. What it does operate, on its own infrastructure, is a small but real set of standards-based surfaces: the FenixEdu academic API at Instituto Superior Tecnico — institution-authored open-source software serving degrees, courses, campus spaces, blueprints, parking and a 1.2 MB serialized domain model anonymously, with Bennu OAuth 2.0 in front of person-scoped data; two independent OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints, one over a 100,245-item DSpace 7.6.1 repository running since 2002 and one over the Koha union library catalog; and a SAML 2.0 identity provider published into the national RCTSaai federation and onward to eduGAIN, alongside a second IdP for Instituto Superior Tecnico that asserts SIRTFI. The institution also authors an open-source Erasmus Without Paper node on GitHub, which is its most substantive piece of public API engineering. Everything else is someone else's contract running under its name — most importantly researchportal.ulisboa.pt, which looks institutional and CNAMEs to ulisbon.elsevierpure.com; its own OAI-PMH Identify calls it a "Pure OAI Repository" and its Pure Web Service OpenAPI is behind an API key. Its Erasmus Without Paper node is hosted by another university entirely. Both are recorded here as tenancies, with the vendor contract deliberately left out of this repository.

University of Lisbon publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: FenixEdu Academic API (Instituto Superior Tecnico). Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Portugal, and Europe.

The University of Lisbon catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

University of Lisbon’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, code examples, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.

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-lisbon: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: 'Real institution-operated, machine-readable surfaces were found and verified live on 2026-09-01: the FenixEdu academic
    API on the institution''s own host, two independent OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints (a 100,245-item DSpace repository running since
    2002, and the Koha union library catalog), the DSpace REST API, and a SAML 2.0 identity provider federated through RCTSaai
    into eduGAIN with a second IdP for Instituto Superior Tecnico. Five of the twelve education-regime domain standards are
    met with contract-level evidence: oai-pmh, saml, orcid, datacite, crossref. What the institution does NOT have is also
    measured rather than assumed: no central developer portal, no provider-published OpenAPI anywhere (the contract in openapi/
    is ours, derived from probes and marked as such), no open data portal (data.ulisboa.pt and dados.ulisboa.pt do not resolve;
    no organization on dados.gov.pt), no published OAuth scope vocabulary, no /.well-known discovery, no llms.txt, no security.txt,
    no status page, no changelog, no research-computing API. Two surfaces that read as the institution''s are not: researchportal.ulisboa.pt
    CNAMEs to ulisbon.elsevierpure.com and self-identifies as a Pure OAI Repository, and the Erasmus Without Paper node runs
    on another university''s host. Both are recorded as tenancies without importing the vendor''s contract. Live defects observed
    and kept in the record rather than smoothed: GET /canteen returns 500 with a Java stack trace, GET /shuttle returns an
    empty object, and the Koha OAI Identify reports repositoryName "ULisboa - " with earliestDatestamp 0001-01-01.'
