Uppsala University (Uppsala universitet) is Sweden's oldest university, founded in 1477, and a public research university ranked #103 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It operates no central developer portal and no institution-wide open-data portal — data.uu.se, opendata.uu.se and api.uu.se do not resolve — so its programmable footprint is decentralized, sitting inside individual research infrastructures, the university library, and IT services. Four surfaces were verified live as institution-operated: the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) REST API at ucdpapi.pcr.uu.se, which is the university's most substantial public API and requires a free token; the Norse World REST-API at norseworld.nordiska.uu.se, returning JSON, GeoJSON and JSON-LD; the DiVA OAI-PMH endpoint at uu.diva-portal.org, notable because Uppsala University Library builds and hosts the DiVA platform for the whole Swedish DiVA consortium rather than renting it from a vendor; and the university's SWAMID-registered Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider at weblogin.uu.se, which publishes machine-readable federation metadata. No Figshare, Elsevier Pure, Ex Libris or Dataverse contract is attributed to Uppsala in this profile.
Uppsala University publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including BattleDeaths API, Dyadic API, GEDEvents API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include University, Higher Education, Education, Sweden, and Public Research University.
The Uppsala University catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Uppsala University’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, GitHub presence, authentication, and 17 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare
no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's
denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to
upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/uppsala: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

detail: 'Uppsala operates real, first-party machine-readable surfaces and all of them were reached live. The UCDP API answers
401 without the free x-ucdp-access-token header, which is the documented behaviour and grades live rather than dead. Norse
World returns application/json and valid GeoJSON. DiVA answers a full OAI-PMH 2.0 Identify with adminEmail diva-support@ub.uu.se,
eight metadata prefixes and eight sets. weblogin.uu.se serves a signed SAML 2.0 EntityDescriptor registered by SWAMID.
What Uppsala does NOT have is a central developer portal or an open-data portal: data.uu.se, opendata.uu.se and api.uu.se
do not resolve, and the course catalog at uu.se/en/study/course is a human-readable listing with no published API. The
/.well-known/ security.txt served on uu.se is the SiteVision CMS vendor''s boilerplate (contact soc@sitevision.se), not
an Uppsala vulnerability-disclosure programme, and is recorded as x-operator vendor so it is not credited to the institution.'
