KU Leuven

KU Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) is a Flemish public research university in Leuven, Belgium, founded in 1425 and ranked in the QS world top 50. Re-profiled on 2026-08-19 with operator attribution settled before anything was saved, it is one of the few universities in this cohort whose machine-readable surface is genuinely its own: every host below resolves inside KU Leuven's own 134.58.0.0/16 address space, and no Figshare, Elsevier Pure, Ex Libris or Symplectic contract is attributed here. Its central programmable surface is the ICTS Data Services gateway at dataservice.kuleuven.be — an unauthenticated OpenSearch query API over eight public index families covering the staff directory, academic CVs, the organisational chart, the programme guide, research projects, research teams, research infrastructure and job vacancies — documented in Dutch at admin.kuleuven.be and confirmed live returning real records. It also runs the Research Data Repository (RDR), a self-hosted Dataverse 6.7.1 installation at rdr.kuleuven.be that serves its own OpenAPI publicly, mints DOIs as DataCite repository client BRVZ.RDR, and exposes OAI-PMH; the Lirias institutional repository exposes a second OAI-PMH endpoint; and idp.kuleuven.be serves SAML 2.0 Shibboleth metadata registered in the Belnet federation with REFEDS SIRTFI and Research & Scholarship assurance. Honest caveats: the 36 RDR entries below are tag-splits of ONE Dataverse deployment, and that contract is upstream open-source Dataverse's work — KU Leuven operates the deployment and owns the data, it does not author the API. There is no unified developer portal, no self-serve credential anywhere in the estate, no versioning on the data services gateway, and the personal timetable API's production host does not resolve from the public internet.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

API Evangelist profiles KU Leuven the way a machine reads it — 117 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — KU Leuven scores 50.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 28/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

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 KU Leuven

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for KU Leuven. 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 56

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.

Open Collections 37

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

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.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

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.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

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.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of KU Leuven, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
