  The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), founded in 1958 and
  located in Powai, Mumbai, is one of India's premier engineering and research
  institutions, ranked #97 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public
  developer footprint is largely student- and community-driven rather than a
  central institutional API program: the Students' Gymkhana operates an OAuth 2.0
  "Profiles" identity API, the Institute Technical Council runs an ITC Single
  Sign-On service, and the Central Library exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0 interface over
  its DSpace institutional repository. No unified central developer portal was
  found; access to several APIs is gated to IIT Bombay infrastructure.

    description: >-
      A session-based Single Sign-On service maintained by the Institute Technical
      Council (ITC) for authenticating IIT Bombay users in student and club
      projects. A redirect-based ssocall flow returns an access id that the
      backend exchanges via a getuserdata POST for user profile fields (name,
      roll number, department, degree, graduation year). Sessions last one hour.

      OAI-PMH 2.0 response, confirming a live harvesting endpoint for open-access
      scholarly metadata.
