- name: UC San Diego API Gateway (WSO2 API Manager 4.1.0)
  host: api.ucsd.edu
  x-operator: institution

  method: probed
  source: https://api.ucsd.edu/api/am/devportal/v2/settings
  notes: >-
    IsAnonymousModeEnabled=false and identityProvider.external=false; the API catalogue returns
    401 to anonymous clients. Credentials are issued to UC San Diego affiliates through Single
    Sign-On, not through self-serve registration. See scopes/ucsd-scopes.yml.
- name: UC San Diego Shibboleth Identity Provider (TritON)

  scheme: SAML 2.0 Web Browser SSO — HTTP-POST and HTTP-Redirect bindings
  method: probed

  notes: >-
    Registered in InCommon (and via InCommon in eduGAIN) as urn:mace:incommon:ucsd.edu. This is
    the authentication layer behind nearly every gated campus API.
- name: UC San Diego Library Digital Collections JSON API
  host: library.ucsd.edu
  x-operator: institution
  scheme: none — anonymous read
  method: probed
  source: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/search.json?q=ocean
  notes: >-
    No authorization layer. Access control is enforced server-side by a fixed Solr filter query
    on discover_access_group_ssim.
- name: UC San Diego Web API Portal
  host: collab.ucsd.edu
  x-operator: tenant
  scheme: Atlassian Confluence Cloud SSO
  method: probed
  source: https://collab.ucsd.edu/api/api-documentation
  notes: >-
    302 to ucsdcollab.atlassian.net/wiki. The documentation is gated by the Atlassian tenant's
    own SSO, not by a UC San Diego API authorization layer.
