Georgia Tech SUMS REST API

The Shared User Management System (SUMS) REST API, operated by Georgia Tech at sums.gatech.edu to manage researcher access to shared lab instruments, training records, equipment-group queues and BuzzCard identity lookups. Georgia Tech publishes the Swagger 2.0 document itself at /SUMSAPI/rest/API/swagger.json (200, re-verified 2026-09-01); the OpenAPI here is converted from it and the pristine copy is kept in openapi/_original/. Built on the OutSystems low-code platform but hosted on Georgia Tech's own domain and describing Georgia Tech's own system. Most operations require an APIKey query parameter with no public issuance path.

Georgia Tech SUMS REST API is one of 10 APIs that Georgia Institute of Technology publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Research Computing, Laboratory, Equipment, Training, and Identity. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

This API exposes 14 operations across 14 paths, and defines 12 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 1.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://sums.gatech.edu/SUMSAPI/rest/API.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Georgia Tech SUMS REST 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.
