  The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is the flagship public research
  university of the University System of Maryland, located in College Park,
  Maryland, United States. It is ranked #218 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. UMD does not operate a central, officially branded public developer
  portal. The most prominent public, documented programmatic access to UMD data
  is umd.io, a student-run open-source REST API (api.umd.io) covering courses,
  course sections, professors, campus bus routes, building/map data, and majors.
  The Office of the Registrar's Testudo Schedule of Classes provides course data
  via a public web interface, and the libraries' DRUM (DSpace) institutional
  repository is publicly accessible.

      umd.io is a student-run open-source REST API for University of Maryland
      data. It is not an official university service. The v1 API exposes
      endpoints for courses, course sections, semesters, departments,
      professors, campus bus routes/stops/arrivals, campus map buildings, and
      majors. Responses are JSON and require no authentication.

      The University of Maryland Office of the Registrar's Testudo Schedule of
      Classes (SOC) is a public web application for browsing course offerings by
      semester and department. It is a web interface rather than a documented
      JSON API; the umd.io project scrapes it as a data source.
