Politecnico di Milano Open Data

The university's own open data portal. It is not CKAN, Socrata or a data.json endpoint — all three 404 — but a DCAT-AP_IT catalogue serialised as RDF Turtle at /opendata_polimi.ttl, declaring 25 datasets each with a CSV and a JSON distribution at a stable, unauthenticated URL. All 25 JSON distributions were fetched successfully on 2026-09-01, returning 38,255 rows in total. Every distribution is CC BY 4.0. JSON bodies are UTF-8 with a byte-order mark and wrap rows in a single `recordset` array. An earlier profile of this institution recorded "no documented programmatic API" here; that was a probe-vocabulary failure, not an absence.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Politecnico di Milano Open Data, 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.
