description: >-
  Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is a public research university
  in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, ranked #114 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is modest and partly gated:
  the Georgia Tech Library Digital Repository (DSpace 7) exposes a public OAI-PMH
  metadata interface and a public DSpace REST API, the Research Network
  Operations Center (RNOC) documents a public GT Places API for campus building
  and office data, and the Office of Information Technology operates the
  credentialed BuzzAPI (api.gatech.edu) plus CAS/Shibboleth single sign-on. The
  official open-source GitHub organization is github.com/gatech.
