  Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur / IIT KGP) is a public
  technical and research university in West Bengal, India, and the first of the
  IITs, ranked #222 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public digital
  footprint centers on machine-readable scholarly infrastructure rather than a
  formal developer program: the Central Library operates a DSpace-based
  Institutional Digital Repository (the first IR among the IITs) and the
  institute maintains an IRINS research-profile portal hosted by INFLIBNET that
  ingests data from ORCID, Scopus, and Crossref. Operational systems such as the
  ERP/SSO platform are gated to enrolled members and expose no public API
  documentation. No official institution-wide developer portal was found; this
  profile catalogs the publicly reachable, standards-based endpoints only.

    description: >-
      The IIT Kharagpur Central Library Institutional Digital Repository is a
      DSpace-based open repository that collects and preserves the scholarly
      output of the IIT Kharagpur community. It is reachable via the public
      DSpace XMLUI web interface; DSpace platforms conventionally expose
      OAI-PMH metadata harvesting and item/bitstream access, though no
      institute-specific API documentation is published.

    name: IRINS Research Information Portal
    description: >-
      IIT Kharagpur's Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) portal,
      hosted by INFLIBNET, is a web-based research-information management service
      that showcases faculty and researcher profiles and scholarly output. IRINS
      ingests publication and identity data through ORCID, Scopus, and Crossref
      API workflows; the institute instance is publicly browsable but does not
      publish its own developer API documentation.

    name: ERP / Single Sign-On (Gated)
    description: >-
      The official IIT Kharagpur ERP system provides a Single Sign-On
      authentication server used by enrolled students and staff. The login and
      SSO endpoints are live but gated behind credentials, secret-question, and
      OTP verification, and there is no public API documentation. Listed for
      completeness; community-built (unofficial) login helper packages exist but
      are not endorsed by the institute.
