  Princeton University is a private Ivy League research university in Princeton,
  New Jersey, ranked #13 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public
  developer footprint is modest and centers on the Princeton University Art
  Museum API, an open, no-authentication REST service for collections data.
  Most institutional APIs (the OIT API Store covering Active Directory,
  PrincetonInfo, and the MobileApp course/dining/places data) are gated behind
  NetID/service-account OAuth2 and campus access. Library and research-data
  systems expose metadata through standard protocols such as OAI-PMH.

    description: >-
      Open, REST-style API providing developer access to data about the
      Princeton University Art Museum and its collections. Returns JSON for
      objects, makers, packages, and full-text search, with IIIF image URIs.
      No authentication is currently required. Weekly-refreshed static JSON
      datasets of the full collection are also offered.

    description: >-
      Princeton Office of Information Technology API gateway. Default APIs
      include ActiveDirectory (user/group lookups) and PrincetonInfo
      (department data); a MobileApp API exposes course, dining, and campus
      places data. Endpoints are OAuth2-protected and require a NetID or
      service-account subscription, so access is gated to the campus
      community rather than the public.
