University of Toronto

name: University of Toronto
description: '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.'
