description: 'The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) is Japan''s leading national research university, founded in 1877 and ranked
  #29 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is centered on its library
  and digital humanities infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal. Confirmed public APIs include the UTokyo Academic
  Assets Archives (utda) Digital Archive Portal, which exposes IIIF-compliant image and presentation APIs plus downloadable
  IIIF Collections and JSON-LD/RDF metadata datasets, and the UTokyo Repository (WEKO) institutional repository, which offers
  an OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint. No general-purpose, authenticated REST developer program (course/SIS/timetable
  APIs) was found publicly documented.'
