Spacefinder Campus Space Data

The data layer behind the University of Leeds Libraries wayfinding application, published as two unauthenticated static JSON documents. spaces.json returned 68 campus and library spaces on 2026-08-30 (137,649 bytes) with geolocation, per-weekday opening hours, facility and atmosphere vocabularies, noise level, accessibility and access restriction; filters.json returns the six facet groups the application uses. No key, no quota, no registration, and no version field — validate every fetch against the derived JSON Schema. Built with the University of Cambridge's Spacefinder Rails application as its starting point and released by Leeds as a Jekyll theme other institutions can reuse.

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.
