The university's own REST API platform (开放API), operated by the SJTU Network and Information Center at api.sjtu.edu.cn under OAuth 2.0 issued by its own jAccount authorization server. 59 documented operations across 13 families: Profile, Task, Enterprise, File, Notification, Mail, Finance, Education, Card, Unicode (思源码), Barcode, Calendar and Signature. Every response uses one envelope — errno, error, total, nextToken, entities[] — and field release is scope controlled, so the same Profile operation returns a different object shape to a `basic` token than to a `privacy` one. Verified live 2026-08-30: an unauthenticated GET of /v1/me/profile returns HTTP 403 with the documented {"errno":10002,"error":"Authentication Failed."}. SJTU publishes no OpenAPI; the specification here is DERIVED from the university's own HTML documentation and marked as such in info.x-provenance.
