University of the Witwatersrand
The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) is a leading public research university in Johannesburg, South Africa, ranked #268 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Wits does not operate a central, branded developer portal, but it exposes standards-based machine-readable interfaces through its library and open-research infrastructure.

Other systems (Springshare LibGuides/LibCal, identity/SSO, and student services) are vendor-hosted and generally gated rather than openly documented.
