Politecnico di Torino
Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO) is Italy's oldest technical university, founded in Turin in 1859, with roughly 38,000 students across engineering, architecture and design. Unusually for this cohort, its programmable footprint is genuinely its own rather than a vendor's: the university publishes the OpenAPI definition of the REST API behind its official student and faculty mobile applications in the verified @polito GitHub organisation (polito/api-spec, authored in TypeSpec and emitted as two client contracts, Polito Faculty API and Polito Students API), and the React Native apps that consume it are open-sourced under EUPL-1.2 in polito/rn-apps and polito/students-app. That API runs on the university's own host, app.didattica.polito.it, and covers announcements, authentication with MFA, room and slot bookings, courses, lectures, news, people, places, exams, grades, degree offering, job offers, surveys, support tickets and the European Student Card. It is not a self-service developer programme: the production base path returns 403 to an anonymous caller, every operation is bearer authenticated against a PoliTO account, and no key can be requested by an outsider. Two further institution-operated machine-readable surfaces exist and are recorded here for the first time — a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider registered in IDEM GARR and eduGAIN since 2020, and an OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting service over the IRIS research repository, the latter a CINECA tenant deployment rather than PoliTO engineering. A fourth institution-operated surface was found on 2026-08-30 and is the only one an outsider can actually call: four keyless JSON web services behind the polito.it site search — staff, departments and teachings at mypoli.polito.it/dotnet/ws_anagrafe and a campus room locator at legacyprod.polito.it — all returning HTTP 200 and real data with no credential, on hosts inside the university's own GARR address space. They are undocumented and unversioned, PoliTO does not present them as a developer product, and the OpenAPI held here is derived from probing rather than published. The university also runs HPC@PoliTO, an academic computing service managed in-house, whose allocation process is entirely by email with no programmatic surface. The institutional open-data portal publishes downloadable datasets only, with no API behind it, and there is no data.polito.it or api.polito.it host in service.
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 Politecnico di Torino the way a machine reads it — 54 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 — Politecnico di Torino scores 45.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 30/100 (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. 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 Politecnico di Torino
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Politecnico di Torino. 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 20
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.
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.
Politecnico Di Torino Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
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.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.
Spectral Rules 2
Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

SPECTRALJSON Schema 4
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.
Standalone JSON Schema definitions for this provider's data models.
JSON Structure 2
JSON Structure captures the data shapes in a form built for tooling — a complement to JSON Schema that keeps the model machine-legible.

JSON STRUCTUREExamples 3
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.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Politecnico di Torino, 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.
