University of Gothenburg
The University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs universitet) is a public research university in Sweden, founded in 1891, with roughly 37,000 students and 6,000 employees. Its programmable footprint is larger and more genuinely its own than the June 2026 profile of this repository recorded, and it is concentrated in one place: Språkbanken Text, the Swedish Language Bank's text division at the Department of Swedish, Multilingualism, Language Technology. Språkbanken publishes SIX OpenAPI documents from a single documentation index at ws.spraakbanken.gu.se/docs — Korp (corpus concordance search over 1,133 corpora), Karp v7 and Karp search v1 (lexical resources), Mink (upload, annotate and publish your own corpus), Sparv (the annotation pipeline as a job service) and the Språkbanken Text Metadata API (a 1,499-resource catalogue with BibTeX export). All six run on University of Gothenburg hosts, carry sb-info@svenska.gu.se as contact, and answered anonymous requests with HTTP 200 on 2026-09-01. The Gothenburg University Library separately operates GUPEA on DSpace 8.3, exposing both an OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint (fourteen metadata formats, including the Swedish national uppsok thesis profile) and a HAL+JSON REST API on gupea.ub.gu.se. The University also runs its own Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider, published as machine-readable metadata through SWAMID and eduGAIN. What is thin here is PRODUCT, not surface. There is no central developer portal, no API programme, no changelog, no status page, no rate-limit signal, no support channel and no documented credential-issuance route for any of the write surfaces. Five of the six contracts declare a security scheme and not one explains how to obtain a credential; two of them publish relative servers[] and no contact at all. This is a research unit's engineering that happens to be excellent, published without any of the institutional scaffolding that would make it findable. Everything else that looks like a University of Gothenburg API is a relationship rather than a contract — DOI registration with DataCite through the Swedish National Data Service and with Crossref directly, a Microsoft Entra tenancy on medarbetarportalen.gu.se — and those are recorded here with x-operator and no vendor contract stored.
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 University of Gothenburg the way a machine reads it — 31 machine-readable artifacts across 6 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 — University of Gothenburg scores 52.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 26/100 (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 Gothenburg
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Gothenburg. 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 14
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 Gothenburg 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 2
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 1
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.
University of Gothenburg API Rules
SPECTRALJSON Schema 2
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.
Korp /info response
JSON SCHEMAExamples 6
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.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

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