The University of Toronto is Canada's largest public research university, operating three campuses (St. George, Mississauga, Scarborough) and ranked in the QS World University Rankings top 25. Like almost every institution its size it is a federation of buyers rather than a producer of APIs, and this profile is deliberate about which side of that line each surface falls on. Two surfaces are genuinely institution-operated, both on utoronto.ca: the Timetable Builder API at api.easi.utoronto.ca, run by Enterprise Applications and Solutions Integration (EASI) within U of T Information Technology Services, which serves live course, section, meeting-time, enrolment and building data across all divisions with no credential required; and the UTORauth Shibboleth identity provider, which publishes SAML 2.0 metadata registered in the Canadian Access Federation with the REFEDS Research & Scholarship entity category and SIRTFI assurance. Everything else that looks like a University of Toronto API is a vendor or consortium contract running under the University's name — TSpace now lives on Scholaris, the OCUL-operated DSpace service, and its OAI-PMH and REST endpoints are the platform's engineering, not U of T's; the U of T Dataverse is a collection inside Borealis. Those relationships are recorded here as tenant surfaces because the data is the University's even though the contract is not. There is no developer portal, no API documentation, no terms of use for any API, no versioning scheme, no status page and no support channel for developers. The University does publish an llms.txt at its web root, which is more agent-facing provision than most of the cohort makes.
University of Toronto publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Timetable Builder API. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Canada, and U15.
The University of Toronto catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of Toronto’s developer surface includes documentation, status page, engineering blog, support, code examples, and 26 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/.

no terms of use and no rate-limit statement for it; CORS is pinned to https://ttb.utoronto.ca so browser clients from

x-coverage:
state: covered
reason: institution_operated_surfaces_verified
detail: 'Full pass on 2026-08-19. Two institution-operated surfaces were found and verified live, both on utoronto.ca: the
EASI Timetable Builder API (six operations, unauthenticated, real course data) and the UTORauth Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity
provider. The June 2026 profile missed the timetable API because it guessed paths under ttb.utoronto.ca; the API actually
lives on api.easi.utoronto.ca and its operation names are declared in the official client bundle. Three tenant relationships
were confirmed and re-labelled rather than deleted: TSpace OAI-PMH and TSpace DSpace REST on Scholaris (OCUL), and the
U of T Dataverse collection in Borealis. The deprecated community Cobalt open-data API was removed — its endpoint returns
404 and it was never institution-operated. What genuinely does not exist: a developer portal, published API documentation,
an OpenAPI, terms of use for any API, a versioning scheme, a status page, a rate limit statement, an OAuth surface, or
any developer support channel. Nothing here was blocked from us.'
