University of Toronto

The University of Toronto is Canada's leading public research university, ranked #26 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is modest and decentralized: the University of Toronto Libraries operate the TSpace institutional repository (now hosted on the Scholaris DSpace platform), which exposes a standards-based OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata endpoint and a DSpace REST API. Student-facing course and timetable data is served through the EASI Timetable Builder, but that interface is not publicly documented as a developer API. Historically, the student-driven Cobalt project published open-data APIs for UofT courses, buildings, and campus services, but it has been deprecated/archived since 2020.

University of Toronto publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Data.

The University of Toronto catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

University of Toronto’s developer surface includes GitHub presence and 8 more developer resources.
