description: >-
  Politecnico di Milano is Italy's largest technical university, focused on
  engineering, architecture, and design, and ranked #111 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is
  limited and not consolidated into a single developer portal. The most
  concrete public API surface is the OAI-PMH metadata endpoint of its IRIS
  Re.Public@Polimi institutional research repository (CINECA platform), an open
  data portal at opendata.polimi.it (browse/download, with no documented
  programmatic API), and a Shibboleth/SAML2 identity provider participating in
  the Italian IDEM (GARR) federation. Most student-facing service APIs (online
  services / mobile app backends) are gated behind authentication and are not
  publicly documented.

    description: >-
      Public OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint for the IRIS
      Re.Public@Polimi institutional research repository (CINECA platform). The
      endpoint resolves and returns a valid Identify response naming the
      repository "IRIS - POLIMI - prod" with Dublin Core and other metadata
      formats available via ListMetadataFormats. Supports standard OAI-PMH verbs
      (Identify, ListMetadataFormats, ListRecords, ListSets, GetRecord).

    description: >-
      Institutional open data portal (opendata.polimi.it) publishing the
      university's public datasets. The portal resolves and serves dataset
      browsing and download, but exposes no documented programmatic API at the
      time of review (CKAN package_list, Socrata, and data.json probes returned
      404). Listed as a data access point rather than a confirmed machine API.

      Shibboleth/SAML2 identity provider for Politecnico di Milano, serving
      federated single sign-on as part of the Italian IDEM (GARR) academic

      authentication/federation service rather than a general-purpose data API.
