UM Data and Open Data API Platform

Sixteen JSON APIs, nineteen operations, all GET, covering About UM (organizational units in Chinese, English and Portuguese; public holidays), Academic (course catalog and per-semester course offerings addressable as {course}-{year}-{sem} and down to a section code), Facilities (car park availability, computer room PC status and reservations, shuttle bus arrival times, sports facilities and bookings, door access control records with hashed cardholder ids, outdoor WiFi access logs), Media (news and events) and Student (residential college hostel bed spaces, student job vacancies). Collection operations share one documented convention: page, pagesize (max 100), count and sort_by, with records wrapped in _embedded alongside _returned, _size and _total_pages. Authentication is an Azure API Management subscription key in the Authorization header, obtained by subscribing to the single published product, "UM Members", after registering the service through UMPASS. There is no OAuth flow and no scope model. The API is documented publicly and callable only by the university's own members.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of UM Data and Open Data API Platform, 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.
