UMD Libraries Website Tools API

API middleware operated by the University of Maryland Libraries that exposes today's open/closed status, current bookable-space availability, and raw LibCal space records for five UMD library locations. Thirteen GET operations, no API key, OpenAPI 3.1.0 served from the service itself. The upstream contract is framework-generated: its title is the FastAPI default and its server URL is relative, both repaired in the refined copy with the pristine original kept alongside.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of UMD Libraries Website Tools API, 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.
