# University of Warwick **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/university-of-warwick/ **Website:** https://warwick.ac.uk/ **APIs profiled:** 8 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. ## Kin Score — 59.1 / 100 (strong) Scored 2026-08-20 under rubric 0.12.0.
