National University of Singapore

The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore's flagship public research university, ranked #8 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. NUS does not operate a single unified, public developer portal; its documented, programmatically accessible footprint is concentrated in its open scholarly infrastructure. The institutional repository ScholarBank@NUS runs on DSpace 7.6 and exposes both a REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting interface. Module and timetable data is also available via the community-maintained NUSMods API (unofficial), which normalizes NUS course information. Most administrative and student-facing systems sit behind ADFS/SAML single sign-on and are not publicly documented.
