  Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), founded in 1896 and located in Shanghai,
  China (Mainland), is one of China's top research universities and is ranked #56
  in the QS World University Rankings 2025. SJTU operates an official developer
  platform (developer.sjtu.edu.cn) that exposes internal data resources and
  infrastructure to authorized developers. Its public-facing programmable footprint
  centers on the jAccount single sign-on system (OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect) and a
  GraphQL-based data resources platform covering account, faculty, undergraduate
  teaching, and academic paper data. Access to the data APIs is gated behind an
  application and approval process; the SSO/OIDC integration is documented publicly.
