The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is the flagship public research university of the University System of Maryland and the state's original 1862 land-grant institution. UMD operates no central developer portal and publishes no university-wide API programme. Its entire confirmed programmable footprint is run by three offices. UMD Libraries publish an Open Data site at opendata.lib.umd.edu documenting the interfaces they operate: a keyless FastAPI service for library hours and bookable-space availability, three live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints over digital collections, audio/video collections and ArchivesSpace finding aids, an OpenSearch descriptor over the Avalon A/V catalog, and IIIF Image and Presentation servers. The Division of IT operates the university's Shibboleth identity provider, which publishes SAML 2.0 metadata as InCommon entity urn:mace:incommon:umd.edu with the Research and Scholarship category and SIRTFI assurance — the most consequential machine-readable contract UMD runs, and one no vendor catalogues. The campus GIS office runs an ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 deployment at gis.umd.edu whose REST service catalog, server info and portal endpoints answer keyless JSON while the fourteen service folders beneath them require a token — the machine-readable backend of the official campus map, and undocumented outside the map itself. Everything else that looks like a UMD API is somebody else's engineering. umd.io, the widely cited course, bus and campus-map API, is a student-run independent project on a NameCheap-registered .io domain hosted at DigitalOcean that states plainly it is not the school; the library discovery layer is Ex Libris Primo through the USMAI consortium; the LMS is Instructure Canvas; web archiving is Archive-It; the open-data repository referral is Dryad. Those are recorded here as tenant relationships, not as UMD's contracts. The DRUM institutional repository is genuinely UMD-operated and was serving a maintenance page across every one of its hosts throughout this review.
University of Maryland College Park publishes 20 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Art API, Makerspace API, Mckeldin API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, United States, and Maryland.
The University of Maryland College Park catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of Maryland College Park’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 26 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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare
no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's
denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to
upsert.
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/.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

x-coverage:
state: covered
reason: covered
detail: 'UMD publishes real institution-operated machine-readable surfaces and they were reached and exercised. Confirmed
institution-operated: one OpenAPI 3.1.0 contract (UMD Libraries Website Tools, 13 keyless GET operations, harvested and
probed), three live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints, an OpenSearch 1.1 descriptor over the Avalon A/V catalog, IIIF Image and Presentation
servers, the university''s Shibboleth SAML 2.0 metadata as InCommon urn:mace:incommon:umd.edu, and its own ArcGIS Enterprise
12.1 REST catalog at gis.umd.edu. Three education-regime domain standards are evidenced from live protocol responses:
oai-pmh, saml and shibboleth. Three limits on this coverage. First, DRUM — UMD''s DSpace institutional repository and
its DOI surface — served a 503 maintenance page on every host for the whole review, so its documented REST, OAI-PMH and
OpenSearch endpoints could not be exercised and no datacite or orcid conformance is claimed. Second, the previously catalogued
footprint was wrong: the five OpenAPIs and eleven derived artifact sets in this repository described umd.io, an independent
student-run project on a non-institution domain that states it is not the university. They were removed and the relationship
re-recorded as tenant. Third, the Enterprise GIS is gated: its service catalog enumerates fourteen folders without a credential,
but every folder returns an ArcGIS error 499 "Token Required" inside an HTTP 200, so no layer, schema or record behind
it could be read and no contract was saved for it.'
