The University of Tübingen (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen), founded in 1477 in Tübingen, Germany, is one of the oldest universities in the country and ranks #222 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It is a public research university serving roughly 23,000 to 35,000 students. Its publicly documented developer/API footprint is modest and centers on its institutional research data repository, FDAT, run by the Digital Humanities Center on the InvenioRDM platform, which exposes a JSON REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint.
