      Verified live: the University of Chicago Center for Translational Data
      Science maintains the open-source Gen3 data platform (uc-cdis), which
      auto-generates FAIR APIs and has public docs that resolve 200; the
      official uchicago GitHub org publishes Shibboleth/OIDC identity
      integrations (200); and the Library exposes IIIF endpoints (200) with
      public code in uchicago-library. No central, self-service public developer
      portal was found. The AI API developer portal (ai-api-portal-dev.uchicago.edu)
      is gated/faculty-staff only and did not resolve externally (cert mismatch /
      no response). No endpoints were fabricated; only confirmed, resolving URLs
      are listed.
    endpoints:
