  Chulalongkorn University is Thailand's oldest and a leading public research
  university, located in Bangkok and ranked #229 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is limited and largely
  oriented toward identity and scholarly content: a campus single sign-on
  (Chula SSO) authentication API for student/staff login, an institutional
  repository (CUIR / Chula Digiverse, built on DSpace) exposing OAI-PMH and
  REST interfaces, and a staff-only central data exchange (CU Data Gateway)
  that offers an online API mode. There is no unified, openly documented
  public developer portal; access to most services is gated to university
  personnel or granted on request.

    name: Chula SSO Authentication API
    description: >-
      Single sign-on authentication service for Chulalongkorn University,
      allowing applications to securely authenticate students and staff using
      their Chula ID without handling credentials directly. In production at
      account.it.chula.ac.th since January 2017. Integration requires an appid
      and appsecret, which developers must request by email; it is not
      self-service.

    name: CUIR / Chula Digiverse Repository (OAI-PMH & DSpace REST)
    description: >-
      Chulalongkorn University Intellectual Repository (CUIR), now served via
      the Chula Digiverse digital preservation platform built on DSpace. It
      holds theses, dissertations, academic papers, learning materials and
      archives, and exposes the standard DSpace OAI-PMH and REST interfaces for
      metadata harvesting and programmatic discovery. The legacy CUIR host now
      redirects to digiverse.chula.ac.th.

    description: >-
      The university's central data exchange system that consolidates and
      shares data across departments. It supports two connection modes - Batch
      (SFTP) and Online (API). Access is restricted to officially assigned
      university personnel; there is no public sign-up and no public developer
      documentation. The portal at datagateway.chula.ac.th did not resolve from
      outside the campus network during review.
