description: >-
  Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO) is Italy's oldest technical university, founded
  in 1859 in Turin, and a leading European institution for engineering,
  architecture, and design, ranked #241 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. Its public developer footprint centers on an official OpenAPI
  specification (polito/api-spec) for the REST API that powers the official
  students mobile application, plus an institutional open-data portal publishing
  academic datasets. Code is published openly under the verified @polito GitHub
  organization, while the production API itself is consumed by official
  first-party apps and is not offered as a self-service public developer
  program.

      The official OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification for the REST API of Politecnico
      di Torino, maintained as the single source of truth for planning,

      official students mobile application and is authored in TypeSpec, with a
      generated openapi.yaml, a Dockerized Swagger UI, and Prism mock support.
      The API is consumed by first-party apps via the app.didattica.polito.it
      host; there is no documented self-service public sign-up.
