--- aid: university-of-padua name: University of Padua description: >- The University of Padua (Università degli Studi di Padova) is a public research university in Padua, Italy, founded in 1222 and ranked #236 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is centered on the University Library System (SBA) rather than a single official developer portal: PHAIDRA, the digital-collections platform, exposes a documented REST API (OpenAPI), a IIIF image service, and an OAI-PMH endpoint, while the EPrints-based Padua@Research and Research Data Unipd repositories provide OAI-PMH metadata harvesting. Authentication across university services is delivered through a Shibboleth/SAML Single Sign-On integrated with the IDEM GARR federation and eduGAIN. There is no central institutional GitHub organization for the university as a whole; public code lives in individual lab and department orgs. 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-padua/refs/heads/main/apis.yml tags: - Education - Higher Education - University - Open Data - Research Data - Library - Repository - Italy created: '2026-06-03' modified: '2026-06-03' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: university-of-padua:phaidra name: PHAIDRA Digital Collections REST API description: >- PHAIDRA is the University of Padua Library System's platform for the management, consultation, and long-term archiving of digital objects and collections (images, texts, books, videos).
