The University of Warwick is a public research university in Coventry, England, and a member of the Russell Group. Unusually for this cohort, Warwick genuinely operates its own programmable surface rather than pointing at a vendor's: Tabula, its teaching-and-learning administration system, is built and run by Warwick's own Information and Digital Group (IDG) software engineering team and exposes a documented, versioned REST API on tabula.warwick.ac.uk — three of whose calendar endpoints (term dates, term weeks, holiday dates) are fully public, return live JSON and iCalendar without credentials, and were verified working on 2026-08-19. Warwick also runs its own central identity infrastructure: a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider at idp.warwick.ac.uk publishing unauthenticated, machine-readable federation metadata carrying REFEDS SIRTFI and Research-and-Scholarship entity attributes, plus a Web Sign-on OAuth 1.0a service with nine documented Warwick-specific scopes. Its institutional repository, WRAP, is a self-hosted EPrints instance on Warwick infrastructure serving a live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint with seven metadata formats including RIOXX 2.0 and OpenAIRE. Warwick additionally publishes an llms.txt that documents a real agent affordance rather than merely listing links — appending `?markdown` to any warwick.ac.uk page returns that page as Markdown, which was verified. The honest limits: Warwick publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema or Postman collection for any of its APIs — every machine-readable contract in this repository was derived by API Evangelist from Warwick's documentation and live probes, and is marked as such. There is no changelog, no status page, no deprecation policy and no public issue tracker. Most of the surface is gated behind Warwick Web Sign-on and is not consumable without an institutional account, sandbox access is by email request rather than self-service, and the delegated authorization standard is OAuth 1.0a rather than OAuth 2.0 or OIDC. Its library discovery and students' union surfaces are vendor platforms running under Warwick-specific hostnames and are recorded here as tenant relationships, not as Warwick's engineering.
University of Warwick publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Tabula API and WRAP OAI-PMH (Warwick Research Archive Portal). Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Research, and United Kingdom.
The University of Warwick catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
University of Warwick’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, GitHub presence, engineering blog, authentication, and 26 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the

Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your

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

description: REST API for Tabula, the University of Warwick's own system for the administration of teaching and learning.
Built and operated by Warwick's IDG / IT Services software engineering team — the iCalendar responses carry PRODID:-//Tabula//University
of Warwick IT Services//EN. Resource-oriented URLs, JSON in all responses including errors, and a published versioning
promise. Covers departments and modules, coursework and submissions, small group teaching, monitoring points, member profiles,
timetabling and asynchronous jobs. Term dates, term weeks and holiday dates are public and need no credentials; everything
else requires Warwick Web Sign-on via HTTP Basic Auth or OAuth 1.0a. A sandbox with fake student data is available on
request.

the 404 is Tabula''s own well-formed JSON envelope ({"success":false,"status":"not_found",...}), which proves the service
is alive, and the operations hanging off this base were verified returning 200 unauthenticated (/termdates, /termdates/weeks,
/holidaydates) on 2026-08-19. Do not "fix" this by changing the base — it is the base Warwick documents.'

reason: institution_operated_surfaces_verified
detail: 'Warwick is one of the stronger institutions in this cohort and the profile is not thin. Six institution-operated
surfaces were found and verified live on 2026-08-19, and two vendor surfaces were correctly demoted to tenant relationships
rather than being credited as Warwick''s. Three Tabula calendar endpoints returned live JSON and iCalendar unauthenticated;
every gated Tabula path returned the documented 401 envelope rather than a 404, which confirmed the routes exist without
credentials. The Shibboleth IdP metadata and the WRAP OAI-PMH endpoint were both fetched and parsed in full.
What is genuinely absent, and is a finding about Warwick rather than about our reach: Warwick publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI,
JSON Schema, apis.json or Postman collection anywhere. Both OpenAPI documents in this repository are ours, derived from
Warwick''s prose documentation and live probes, and marked method: derived / probed. There is no changelog, status page,
deprecation policy or public issue tracker.
One surface was gated to us and is recorded as such rather than as absent: warwick.ac.uk/opensource returns HTTP 200 but
renders a Web Sign-on wall for /services/idg/services-support/web/overview/sourcecode/, so Warwick''s internal source-code
and IDG engineering pages could not be read. No pointer is emitted to it.'
