Rokwire Gateway Building Block API

The Rokwire service that fronts external and campus systems for the Illinois app — wayfinding and building/floorplan data, campus data streams, and third-party service integration. University-written, deployed at api.rokwire.illinois.edu/gateway, source at github.com/rokwire/gateway-building-block under Apache 2.0. Version 2.21.1, 34 paths / 45 operations. An anonymous call to /api/wayfinding/buildings returns 401 with the Rokwire error envelope, confirming the surface is live and bearer-gated rather than absent.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Rokwire Gateway Building Block API, 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.
