University of Liverpool

The University of Liverpool is a public research university in Liverpool, United Kingdom, a founding member of the Russell Group, ranked #165 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is centered on scholarly and research-data infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal: the EPrints-based University of Liverpool Repository and the DataCat research data catalogue both expose live OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interfaces. No general-purpose public API developer portal, course/timetable API, or self-service API key program was found to be publicly documented at the time of review; most institutional systems (SSO/IdP, student administration, mobile backends) sit behind authentication and are not publicly cataloged.

University of Liverpool publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Access.

The University of Liverpool catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

University of Liverpool’s developer surface includes GitHub presence and 7 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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/university-of-liverpool: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
