Notes

Only the UCSF Profiles JSON API was verified as a public, documented, live API (it returned real JSON when probed). The Developer@UCSF / Integration Services MuleSoft portal and its APIs (SIS, building metadata, ServiceNow, CV) exist and are publicly indexed but are gated behind MyAccess SSO and the UCSF network/VPN and were not reachable from the review network; they are cataloged for completeness, not as public endpoints. The data.ucsf.edu portal is a data catalog (Scuba ecosystem) with no documented public open-data API. No endpoints were fabricated.
