Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (上海交通大学, SJTU), founded 1896 in Shanghai, is a C9 League public research university and one of very few institutions anywhere that operates a first-party API platform rather than buying one. Its Network and Information Center runs a documented developer portal covering three institution-operated surfaces, all on sjtu.edu.cn and none a vendor tenancy: the jAccount OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect / Shibboleth identity provider; a REST Open API at api.sjtu.edu.cn with 59 documented operations across 13 families (profile, directory, campus card, Siyuan payment code, timetables, exams and GPA, mail, notifications, files, finance, barcode, calendar, e-signature); and a gated Data Resources API. Alongside sit the 交我办 campus super-app and the 交我算 HPC service. What SJTU does not publish is equally real: no OpenAPI, changelog, status page, deprecation policy or self-service signup; docs only in Chinese; and no Crossref, DataCite, ORCID or OAI-PMH anywhere.
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 Shanghai Jiao Tong University the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Shanghai Jiao Tong University scores 43.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 33/100 (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 Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Shanghai Jiao Tong University. 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 5
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.

GraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 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.
