University of Warwick
The University of Warwick is a public research university in Coventry, England, and a member of the Russell Group. Unusually for this cohort, Warwick genuinely operates its own programmable surface rather than pointing at a vendor's: Tabula, its teaching-and-learning administration system, is built and run by Warwick's own Information and Digital Group (IDG) software engineering team and exposes a documented, versioned REST API on tabula.warwick.ac.uk — three of whose calendar endpoints (term dates, term weeks, holiday dates) are fully public, return live JSON and iCalendar without credentials, and were verified working on 2026-08-19. Warwick also runs its own central identity infrastructure: a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider at idp.warwick.ac.uk publishing unauthenticated, machine-readable federation metadata carrying REFEDS SIRTFI and Research-and-Scholarship entity attributes, plus a Web Sign-on OAuth 1.0a service with nine documented Warwick-specific scopes. Its institutional repository, WRAP, is a self-hosted EPrints instance on Warwick infrastructure serving a live OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint with seven metadata formats including RIOXX 2.0 and OpenAIRE. Warwick additionally publishes an llms.txt that documents a real agent affordance rather than merely listing links — appending `?markdown` to any warwick.ac.uk page returns that page as Markdown, which was verified. The honest limits: Warwick publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema or Postman collection for any of its APIs — every machine-readable contract in this repository was derived by API Evangelist from Warwick's documentation and live probes, and is marked as such. There is no changelog, no status page, no deprecation policy and no public issue tracker. Most of the surface is gated behind Warwick Web Sign-on and is not consumable without an institutional account, sandbox access is by email request rather than self-service, and the delegated authorization standard is OAuth 1.0a rather than OAuth 2.0 or OIDC. Its library discovery and students' union surfaces are vendor platforms running under Warwick-specific hostnames and are recorded here as tenant relationships, not as Warwick's engineering.
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles University of Warwick the way a machine reads it — 26 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 — University of Warwick scores 60.1/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 22/100 (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 Warwick
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Warwick. 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 10
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 Warwick 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.
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.

SPECTRALJSON Schema 4
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.

JSON SCHEMAExamples 3
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 3
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.

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 Warwick, 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.
