University of Reading
The University of Reading is a public research university in Reading, England, founded in 1926 and ranked #172 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its programmable footprint is small, real, and almost entirely scholarly: two OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoints on its own hosts — CentAUR (64,458 research outputs) and the Research Data Archive — plus the read-only EPrints dataset listings beside them. Both were probed live on 2026-09-01 and both are fully open, with no key, no registration and no advertised rate limit. There is no developer portal, no api.reading.ac.uk, no open-data portal and no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or apis.json document published by the university anywhere. The institution does operate an Azure API Management gateway on its own domain (esb-prod-api.reading.ac.uk) but publishes no route through it. Its strongest institution-operated machine-readable surface after the repositories is identity: a SAML entity in the UK Access Management Federation (entityID https://reading.ac.uk/oala/metadata, scoped reading.ac.uk and reading.edu.my) and a Microsoft Entra ID tenant whose OpenID Connect discovery document is public. It is a registered DataCite member (provider PCLW) and holds a ROR identifier. Almost everything else a reader might mistake for a Reading API is a vendor's contract running under the university's name — Elsevier Pure, Talis Aspire, SirsiDynix Enterprise, ProQuest Summon, Springshare LibGuides — and those are recorded here as tenant relationships, not as the university's engineering.
University of Reading publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including CentAUR OAI-PMH Metadata API, Research Data Archive OAI-PMH Metadata API, CentAUR Repository REST Listings, and 1 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Research, and Research Repository.
The University of Reading catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
University of Reading’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, support, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.
3 APIs
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.

detail: 'Every surface class the university pipeline hunts was probed on 2026-09-01 and the result is a small but complete
and honest profile. Two institution-operated machine-readable APIs exist and both work: the OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints for
CentAUR (64,458 records) and the Research Data Archive, open with no credentials, alongside the read-only EPrints /rest/
listings whose per-record XML returns 401. There is no developer portal and no open-data portal — api.reading.ac.uk, data.reading.ac.uk,
opendata.reading.ac.uk and developer.reading.ac.uk do not resolve at all, and www.reading.ac.uk/llms.txt and /.well-known/security.txt
both 404. The university does run an Azure API Management gateway on its own domain (esb-prod-api.reading.ac.uk, resolving
to uks-common-p-001-apim.azure-api.net, with a UAT sibling) but every path probed returns APIM''s JSON 404 envelope: a
gateway with no published route. Identity is the strongest find — a UK Access Management Federation SAML entity, entityID
https://reading.ac.uk/oala/metadata, whose metadata is live in the federation MDQ, plus a public Entra ID OIDC discovery
document. Registry memberships are real and recorded: DataCite provider PCLW with four DOI prefixes, and ROR 05v62cm79.
The course catalogue and the Meteorology Department''s climate data services are genuinely institution-operated and genuinely
public, but both are HTML-only — the module catalogue is server-rendered with no JSON, and the climate services are multi-step
POST form wizards, with the newer Data Extractor still showing a 2018 "no data available yet" banner. Library discovery,
reading lists, LibGuides, the CRIS and timetabling are all vendor tenancies and are recorded as relationships, never as
Reading''s contracts; no Figshare tenancy exists — reading.figshare.com returns the same AWS WAF challenge as a nonsense
subdomain does, so the apparent host is not evidence. Two measurement traps worth naming: /cgi/search and /cgi/export
on centaur.reading.ac.uk answer HTTP 200 with an Anubis bot interstitial rather than the requested document, and www.reading.ac.uk
serves its 404s from /search/404.htm with a correct 404 status.'
