KAU Open Data API
King Abdulaziz University's own open data web service. A single GET endpoint, /api/StudentsData, returns aggregate student enrollment and graduation counts broken down by faculty, department, educational level, study type, gender, nationality and admission cohort. KAU publishes eight parameter combinations on its Open Data page and requires no credential for any of them. Records are aggregate counts only and no record identifies an individual. The 2026-06-03 profile of this institution recorded KAU's Open Data page as an empty beta placeholder with no datasets or endpoints; that was wrong and this entry is the correction.The host could not be reached from this run — it resolves in DNS but refused connections on 443 from two independent network egresses, as did every other host in KAU's self-hosted block, while its CloudFront-fronted www host answered 200 throughout. That pattern reads as a geographic access restriction rather than a dead service. The last verified HTTP 200 is an Internet Archive capture of 2025-04-17 returning 1,886 records, with seven further parameter combinations independently captured at 200 across 2024. The OpenAPI is marked derived, not probed-live, for exactly this reason.
