Norwegian University of Science and Technology

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway's largest university, headquartered in Trondheim with campuses in Gjoverik and Alesund, and ranked #264 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. NTNU does not operate a single consolidated institutional developer portal; instead its public, machine-readable footprint is delivered largely through national shared research and education infrastructure operated by Sikt (the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research). Confirmed public, programmatic access exists via the Cristin research information REST API (NTNU is Cristin institution 194), the NVA (Nasjonalt vitenarkiv) API that now hosts the migrated NTNU Open institutional repository, the DataverseNO research-data repository API, the TP timetable web service, and Feide/Dataporten identity (OpenID Connect / OAuth2 / SAML). Several NTNU lab and student GitHub organizations exist, but there is no single official institutional GitHub org.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Norwegian University of Science and Technology the way a machine reads it — 57 machine-readable artifacts across 39 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 — Norwegian University of Science and Technology scores 44.4/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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.

How we profile Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 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 39

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.

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 six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

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.
