Université libre de Bruxelles
Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is a major French-speaking research university in Brussels, Belgium, ranked #230 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, documented developer footprint is centered on DI-fusion, the university's institutional research repository, which exposes a documented HTTP export API for scholar and group publication lists, a search interface, RSS feeds, and an OAI-PMH harvesting service for metadata. ULB also maintains an official GitHub organization for departmental and research code. Beyond these, most ULB systems (student/SIS portals, library discovery, SSO) are gated and not publicly documented as APIs.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Université libre de Bruxelles the way a machine reads it — 8 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 — Université libre de Bruxelles scores 21.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (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.

How we profile Université libre de Bruxelles
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Université libre de Bruxelles. 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 3
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.
DI-fusion Scholar Export API
Documented HTTP GET API that exports the publication list for a given ULB scholar (identified by matricule or DAI). Supports output formats including APA, BibTeX, RIS, CSV, xml-...
DI-fusion Group Export API
Documented HTTP GET API that exports the publication list for a group of ULB scholars, defined either by a valid group ID or a list of scholar IDs. Shares output formats and opt...
DI-fusion OAI-PMH Harvesting Service
ULB's DI-fusion institutional repository documents an OAI-PMH harvesting service allowing third parties to harvest metadata for non-profit purposes (provided the OAI identifier ...
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.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

PLANSRate 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.

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.

FINOPSSemantic 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.

JSON-LDSecurity Posture 1
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.
