King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals

King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) is a public research university in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Its programmable footprint is small, and most of what previously appeared in this profile was not its own: 37 OpenAPI definitions attributed to KFUPM here were the Elsevier Pure Web Services contract (info.title "Pure API", contact pure-support@elsevier.com, version 5.35.3-4) served from the university's Pure tenant at pure.kfupm.edu.sa. That contract is Elsevier's and has been removed; the tenant relationship is recorded instead. What KFUPM genuinely operates is three surfaces on its own infrastructure. Its identity provider at sts.kfupm.edu.sa publishes signed SAML 2.0 federation metadata and an OpenID Connect discovery document, and is registered in eduGAIN through MAEEN, the Saudi identity federation, with scope kfupm.edu.sa — an institution-operated machine-readable surface by definition. The KFUPM ePrints repository (EPrints 3.4.1) serves a live, unauthenticated OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface with six working verbs and six metadata formats, plus record-level and search-level JSON export whose record model carries a KFUPM-local `arabic_abstract` field. The registrar publishes a live course offering system, but it answers only an HTML form POST and returns no machine-readable format. There is no central developer portal, no API documentation, no changelog, no status page, no robots.txt, no sitemap and no llms.txt on the university's own domain. The library discovery surface sits behind a Cloudflare bot challenge. KFUPM does not publish an OpenAPI for anything it operates; the three descriptions in this repo were derived by probing the live endpoints.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 4

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

JSON Schema 1

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
