NYCU OAuth API
The university's own OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749) authorization server, fronting the NYCU single sign-on account. Only the authorization-code grant is offered. Applications register a client and a redirect-URI whitelist at /apply/app; the `profile` scope (account name and NYCU email) is open to any registered developer, while `name` and `status` carry sensitive personal data and must be justified and approved by the Information Technology Service Center — in principle only for systems the university itself develops or operates. Six documented endpoints. NYCU publishes no machine-readable description of the service and no discovery document, so the OpenAPI here is derived from the university's own documentation.
