  The University of Macau (UM), founded in 1981, is the leading public
  comprehensive research university of the Macao Special Administrative Region
  and is ranked #245 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. English is its
  main medium of instruction and around 80 percent of its faculty are recruited
  internationally. UM operates a public-facing Data and Open Data API Platform
  at data.um.edu.mo, managed by its Information and Communication Technology
  Office (ICTO), exposing JSON APIs across categories such as About UM,
  Academic, Facilities, Media, and Student data. Access requires registration
  and an API key via UMPASS, and the platform is primarily oriented toward UM
  staff and students.

      The University of Macau Data and Open Data API Platform provides JSON
      APIs to data published by UM, organized into categories including About
      UM (organizational units and public holidays), Academic (course catalog
      and courses offered), Facilities (facilities information), Media (news and
      events) and Student (student services information). The platform supports
      pagination, filtering, sorting, and standard HTTP response codes. Access
      requires registration and an API key obtained through UMPASS; data is
      free to use subject to the terms and conditions. No anonymous public base
      URL is documented, so baseURL is omitted.
