University of Rochester

The University of Rochester is a private research university in Rochester, New York, ranked #236 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate a single official, centralized public developer portal; its publicly reachable programmatic surface is found across library and research-data infrastructure. The University of Rochester Research Repository (URRR) runs on the Figshare platform, which exposes a public REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint, and the legacy UR Research institutional repository still serves a live OAI-PMH interface. The River Campus Libraries also maintain an active public GitHub organization with digital-library tooling. Most enterprise systems (SIS, identity/SSO, course/catalog) are gated and not publicly documented.

University of Rochester publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including altmetric API, articles API, authors API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Library.

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

University of Rochester’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 9 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-rochester: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
