description: 'Zhejiang University (浙江大学, ZJU) is a comprehensive public research university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province,
  China — a C9 League and Double First-Class institution, ranked in the QS World University Rankings top 50, with strengths
  across AI, engineering, medicine, agriculture and the sciences. ZJU operates no central developer portal, no open data portal,
  no institution-operated research data repository and no documented public application API. Its verified institution-operated
  programmable footprint is three surfaces, all under its own zju.edu.cn registrable domain: a public open source software
  mirror at mirrors.zju.edu.cn that publishes a genuinely machine-readable service catalog (the MirrorZ data contract, 63
  mirrored repositories, anonymous read); a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 Identity Provider registered in CARSI and reachable through
  eduGAIN; and a CAS unified single sign-on platform. Everything else on the public estate is either vendor software running
  on a ZJU hostname — the Huiwen library catalog, the undergraduate teaching management platform, the faculty profile system
  — or is gated behind campus network access. The library catalog has been deliberately withdrawn from the public internet.
  No OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, MCP server, agent card, robots.txt, security.txt or llms.txt is published anywhere on the
  institution''s own surface.'

  state: covered
  reason: institution_surface_verified
  detail: 'Three institution-operated surfaces confirmed live under Zhejiang University''s own registrable domain zju.edu.cn,
    one of which publishes a real machine-readable contract: the MirrorZ service catalog at mirrors.zju.edu.cn/mirrorz.json
    (200, application/json, 63 mirrors, validated against the upstream MirrorZ JSON Schema). The SAML 2.0 / Shibboleth IdP
    at idp.zju.edu.cn is institution-operated and third-party-registered in eduGAIN via CARSI, evidencing two education-regime
    domain standards — though the document it serves is an expired, uncustomised installer artifact. Two further surfaces
    are real institutional facts but are gated: the library catalog at opac.zju.edu.cn returns a deliberate 403 stating public-internet
    service has been suspended in favour of WebVPN, and the undergraduate teaching platform at zdbk.zju.edu.cn is a login-only
    vendor system. NO tenant relationship on a research-data platform was found — there is no Figshare, Pure, Dataverse, DSpace
    or Symplectic surface under zju.edu.cn, so no vendor contract is attributed here. There is no open data portal, no institution-operated
    OAI-PMH endpoint (libweb.zju.edu.cn soft-404s on /oai, returning HTTP 200 with a CMS error body — deliberately not credited),
    and no central developer portal.'

  description: 浙江大学开源软件镜像站 — ZJU's public open source software mirror. The site publishes a machine-readable service catalog
    at /mirrorz.json implementing the MirrorZ data contract (self-declared version 1.7), listing 63 mirrored repositories
    with path, sync status token, upstream source, on-disk size and per-repository documentation link. Anonymous read, no
    authentication, no rate-limit headers, no CORS header. The repositories themselves are served as ordinary HTTPS directory
    trees. This is the only genuinely machine-readable API-shaped contract Zhejiang University operates itself. ZJU publishes
    no OpenAPI for it; the OpenAPI and JSON Schema registered below were derived by API Evangelist from the live response.

    registered in CARSI (the CERNET Authentication and Resource Sharing Infrastructure) and interfederated through eduGAIN
    since 2020-01-31. It advertises SingleSignOn, SingleLogout, ArtifactResolution and AttributeQuery endpoints across SAML
    1.0, SAML 1.1, SAML 2.0 and the Shibboleth-native binding. Caveat recorded honestly: the metadata served at the entityID
    is the unmodified Shibboleth installer artifact — validUntil 2020-01-29, expired for six years, with no Organization or
    ContactPerson block and the template placeholders still commented in. Federated consumers work from the CARSI/eduGAIN
    aggregate, not from this endpoint.'
