  Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is a public technical and
  research university in Hauz Khas, New Delhi, an Institute of National
  Importance and Institution of Eminence ranked #118 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is modest and largely
  research- and student-driven rather than a centralized developer program: the
  Central Library runs an open DSpace 8 institutional repository exposing a
  DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface, the institute
  operates an OAuth 2 authentication server for campus apps, and the student
  DevClub maintains the IITD Connect mobile-app backend with Postman-documented
  endpoints. There is no unified, productized public API portal.

    name: IIT Delhi Institutional Repository DSpace REST API
    description: >-
      The IIT Delhi Central Library institutional repository runs on DSpace 8.0
      and exposes the standard DSpace REST/HAL API at /server/api. The root
      endpoint is public and advertises the dspaceVersion, authn, and core
      links; most content endpoints (e.g. core/items) require authentication and
      return HTTP 401 for anonymous requests.

    name: IIT Delhi OAuth 2 Authentication Server
    description: >-
      IIT Delhi operates an OAuth 2 authorization server that lets developers
      register their own campus apps and authenticate users with IIT Delhi
      credentials. The portal is live but gated behind a login/CAPTCHA, and no
      public OAuth/OpenID Connect endpoint or scope documentation is published.

    name: IITD Connect API (DevClub)
    description: >-
      Backend API for IITD Connect, the student-built IIT Delhi mobile/campus
      app maintained by DevClub. Documented via Postman with endpoints grouped
      into User, Event, Club/Hostel/Body, IITD News, and Calendar collections;
      requests require a Bearer token obtained from a login request. This is a
      student-club project rather than an official institutional API.
