  The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway's largest
  university, headquartered in Trondheim with campuses in Gjoverik and Alesund,
  and ranked #264 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. NTNU does not operate
  a single consolidated institutional developer portal; instead its public,
  machine-readable footprint is delivered largely through national shared
  research and education infrastructure operated by Sikt (the Norwegian Agency
  for Shared Services in Education and Research). Confirmed public, programmatic
  access exists via the Cristin research information REST API (NTNU is Cristin
  institution 194), the NVA (Nasjonalt vitenarkiv) API that now hosts the
  migrated NTNU Open institutional repository, the DataverseNO research-data
  repository API, the TP timetable web service, and Feide/Dataporten identity
  (OpenID Connect / OAuth2 / SAML). Several NTNU lab and student GitHub
  organizations exist, but there is no single official institutional GitHub org.

    description: >-
      TP (Timeplan) is the timetable, room-booking and course-activity system
      used by NTNU and hosted at tp.educloud.no/ntnu. It provides a versioned
      web-service interface under the /ntnu/ws/ path for course and timetable
      data. The web service is access controlled (returns HTTP 401 without
      credentials), so programmatic use requires institutional authorization.
