  Uppsala University (Uppsala universitet) is Sweden's oldest university,
  founded in 1477, and is ranked #103 in the QS World University Rankings 2025.
  Its public developer and API footprint is research-driven and decentralized
  across departments and infrastructures rather than a single developer portal.
  Confirmed public interfaces include the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP)
  RESTful API, the Norse World REST-API, and the DiVA institutional repository
  OAI-PMH endpoint. The university maintains an official GitHub organization
  hosting integration and research code.

    description: >-
      The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) API is a fully RESTful HTTP API
      returning JSON, providing programmatic access to UCDP conflict datasets
      including georeferenced events (gedevents), armed conflict, dyadic,
      non-state, one-sided violence, and battle-related deaths datasets. Access
      requires a free access token obtained from the API maintainer, supplied
      via the x-ucdp-access-token HTTP header, with a quota of 5,000 requests
      per day.

    description: >-
      The Norse World REST-API, part of the Norse World research infrastructure
      at Uppsala University's Department of Scandinavian Languages, provides
      access to attestation and location records of foreign place names in
      medieval Nordic texts. Endpoints (getAttestationAPI.php and
      getLocationAPI.php) return data as JSON, GeoJSON, or JSON-LD via a
      ?format= parameter and are usable directly from a URL or GIS tools.
