--- aid: university-of-washington name: University of Washington description: >- The University of Washington (UW) is a public research university based in Seattle, Washington, United States, ranked #52 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UW operates a mature, institutionally documented developer footprint through its UW-IT Enterprise Web Services (EWS) program, which exposes a registry of REST/SOAP web services for student, identity, person, group, and ID-card data, each with public Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. Most production data endpoints require an institutional UW NetID, certificate-based authentication, and approved access; the documentation, service registry, and Swagger specifications are publicly browsable. UW also publishes open scholarly metadata through its ResearchWorks DSpace repository (REST API and OAI-PMH) and maintains active public GitHub organizations. 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-washington/refs/heads/main/apis.yml tags: - Education - Higher Education - University - Research - United States - Student Information - Identity - Library - Open Data created: '2026-06-03' modified: '2026-06-03' # 2026-06-03: added local OpenAPI 3.0 specs (SWS v5, IdCardWS v1) and derived artifacts. specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: university-of-washington:student-web-service name: Student Web Service (SWS) description: >- The Student Web Service gives applications access to information in the UW Student database such as course data, registration data, section data, person data, and term data.
