Overview
This document outlines information on the university-wide API Directory.
API Directory
The API Directory offers a robust API publishing and subscription service. This university wide directory allows secure and authorized access to institutional data for use in research and innovative applications. University departments are able to authorize and manage access to their data sets using the API directory. Data owners have tools to audit use, grant or deny access requests, and use automated roll on and off processes.
Availability
The API Directory should have little or no down time during software patches and releases. APIs are hosted on the API Directory infrastructure, but still rely on the back-end system to provide data for the APIs. Data from individual APIs are available when the host system is.
API Directory Data Domains
The API Directory has presence among various Data domains within the University. For an overview of the enterprise subject areas, and which areas have published APIs, see API Directory Data Domains.
