--- aid: university-of-north-carolina-at-chapel-hill name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill description: >- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a leading public research university in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, ranked #155 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is centered on research and open-data infrastructure rather than a single unified developer portal: UNC Dataverse exposes a live, documented native REST API for social-science and research data (running Dataverse 6.8), the campus ArcGIS Hub open-data site publishes geospatial data through DCAT-US feeds and ArcGIS REST services, and the UNC Libraries software-development team maintains a public GitHub organization with the box-c Digital Collections Repository and other open-source tooling. Most administrative and student-information-system APIs (such as the Facilities SPOTS REST API and campus single sign-on) are gated behind Onyen/Shibboleth authentication. type: Index position: Consumer access: 3rd-Party image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/university-of-north-carolina-at-chapel-hill/refs/heads/main/apis.yml tags: - Education - Higher Education - University - Research Data - Open Data - Geospatial - Digital Library - United States - North Carolina created: '2026-06-03' modified: '2026-06-03' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: university-of-north-carolina-at-chapel-hill:dataverse name: UNC Dataverse API description: >- Native REST API for UNC Dataverse, the university's research data repository supported by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.
