PandA Learning Support System API (Sakai Entity Broker + IMS LTI)

PandA is the Kyoto University Learning Support System, a Sakai deployment operated by the Institute for Information Management and Communication and published by the IIMC as the university's own education service. Its Sakai Entity Broker at /direct self-describes 53 registered entity prefixes and answers application/json anonymously: the tool registry returns all 96 registered tools with their required Sakai permissions, while session-scoped prefixes (site, syllabus, announcement, assignment, calendar, content, lti) return an empty collection and the user directory is closed with a 403. Separately, PandA is a live IMS LTI 1.3 platform — it publishes a JWKS of three RS256 signing keys at /imsblis/lti13/keyset — and still runs the LTI 1.1 Basic Outcomes service, which answers with an IMS message_response envelope. No credential was sent to any endpoint and no authentication was attempted.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of PandA Learning Support System API (Sakai Entity Broker + IMS LTI), published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
