NTHU Academic Information System OAuth 2.0 Service

The one API National Tsing Hua University operates itself. An OAuth 2.0 authorization-code service run by the Computer and Communication Center on NTHU's own host, letting a reviewed external application authenticate an NTHU faculty, staff or student account against the Academic Information System (CCXP) and read an approved subset of six identity fields — userid, name, email, inschool, cid and lmsid. NTHU publishes the interface manual itself; the OpenAPI here is derived from that manual, not fabricated, and all three endpoints were probed live on 2026-08-30. Access is application-gated: a unit head must sign, the Computer and Communication Center must review, and each data-owning unit must approve the fields released. Secret keys expire after one year.

NTHU Academic Information System OAuth 2.0 Service is one of 4 APIs that National Tsing Hua University publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of NTHU Academic Information System OAuth 2.0 Service, 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.
