University of Antwerp
The University of Antwerp (Universiteit Antwerpen) is a public research university in Antwerp, Belgium. Unusually for this cohort it is a producer as well as a buyer: the library and archive department builds Wander — the platform that began in 1998 as Brocade — and hosts it on the university's own infrastructure, so a vendor-looking domain (go.wander.be) resolves to 143.169.239.17 inside inetnum 143.169.0.0/16, netname UA, org "Universiteit Antwerpen" (RIPE). Other Flemish institutions are its tenants, not the other way round. Two institution-operated machine-readable surfaces were verified live in September 2026, both in that same address space. The Institutional Repository University of Antwerp (IRUA) serves a complete OAI-PMH 2.0 interface at repository.uantwerpen.be with six metadata formats (including CERIF 1.5, MARC 21 and Flemish VABB-SHW and FWO MODS profiles), four harvesting sets, ORCID iDs usable as set specifications, and deletedRecord=persistent. The Shibboleth identity provider publishes a signed SAML 2.0 EntityDescriptor at the legacy entityID https://idpx.ua.ac.be/idp/shibboleth, registered in the Belnet R&E Federation since 2012 and interfederated into eduGAIN; it is the strongest contract in this profile, it is institution-run on institution hardware, and the June 2026 pass missed it entirely. What the university does NOT operate is equally clear and is stated rather than padded: there is no developer portal, no API key programme, no open data portal (data.uantwerpen.be and api.uantwerpen.be do not resolve), no OpenAPI or AsyncAPI of its own, and no machine-readable course catalog — the programme catalog is HTML only. The learning management system is Anthology's Blackboard running as a tenant on blackboard.uantwerpen.be, whose REST API answers on the university's hostname but is Anthology's contract, not the university's. DOIs are registered through Crossref (member 29262); there is no DataCite membership.
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 University of Antwerp the way a machine reads it — 14 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — University of Antwerp scores 34.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 27/100 (agent aware). 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 University of Antwerp
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Antwerp. 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 8
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.
University Of Antwerp 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 University of Antwerp, 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.
