University of Texas at Austin

The University of Texas at Austin is a flagship public research university in Austin, Texas, United States, ranked #65 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable API footprint is concentrated in its library and research-data infrastructure rather than a single centralized developer portal. The UT Libraries operate Texas ScholarWorks, a DSpace 8 institutional repository exposing a public DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoint, and the university participates in the Texas Data Repository, a Dataverse instance hosted by the Texas Digital Library that offers a documented REST API. Enterprise integration APIs (the UT Austin API Registry / Identity and Access Management services) exist but are gated behind UT EID authentication and internal ServiceNow access.

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-texas-at-austin: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
