Sapienza University of Rome
Sapienza University of Rome (Sapienza Università di Roma) is Italy's largest university, a public research institution founded in 1303 and ranked #132 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It runs no public developer portal, no API gateway and publishes no OpenAPI, and this profile does not pretend otherwise. What it does operate, on its own uniroma1.it hosts, are three genuinely institution-run machine surfaces: an OAI-PMH 2.0 provider on the IRIS institutional research catalogue (iris.uniroma1.it, DSpace-CRIS supplied by CINECA) whose underlying DSpace REST API is closed behind HTTP basic auth; a second, site-wide OAI-PMH 2.0 provider over the 100 open-access journals of Riviste Online SApienza (rosa.uniroma1.it, Open Journal Systems 3.3.0.13), whose OJS REST API v1 answers 403 to anonymous callers; and a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider, entityID https://idp.uniroma1.it/idp/shibboleth, published as machine-readable metadata in the IDEM GARR AAI federation aggregate. Its DataCite registration (provider ROMAUNO, repository CRUI.UNIROMA1, prefix 10.13133, 8,051 DOIs), its Crossref membership (member 13551, prefix 10.53131) and its ROR identifier 02be6w209 are verifiable from public registry endpoints. The Sapienza Library System open-data project at sbs.uniroma1.it documents a 5-star / DCAT-AP_IT dataset catalogue, but its one dataset download link is a hard 404 and its linked-data service still says "this website is still under development" — the project has not been updated since 2017 and it is recorded here honestly rather than credited as a live open-data API. The library OPAC runs vendor Sebina software on an institution host with no public API, the course catalogue is a Drupal site with no data interface, and there is no official institutional GitHub organization: the Sapienza-named org on GitHub carries student coursework, not platform code.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Sapienza University of Rome the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 7 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 — Sapienza University of Rome scores 32.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 5/100 (human only). 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 Sapienza University of Rome
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Sapienza University of Rome. 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 7
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.
Sapienza University Of Rome 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.
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Sapienza University of Rome, 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.
