  Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the largest and oldest public
  technical university in the Netherlands, ranked #51 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public developer footprint centers on research and library
  data infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal: the 4TU.ResearchData
  repository (data.4tu.nl), which TU Delft co-founded and leads, exposes a public
  REST API (v2/v3, the open-source "djehuty" platform) plus OAI-PMH metadata
  harvesting; the TU Delft Repository (repository.tudelft.nl) publishes open-access
  theses and research output with OAI-PMH metadata; and TU Delft operates a
  NetID/OAuth2 single sign-on identity service. TU Delft historically ran a
  general institutional API platform at api.tudelft.nl (campus, buildings,
  courses, education and organisation data) secured with OAuth2, but that
  platform has been publicly announced as being suspended with no new client
  registrations accepted, so it is documented here as gated/legacy.
