All endpoints were probed live on 2026-06-03. The Rice Research Repository REST API and OAI-PMH endpoints returned HTTP 200 and identified as "Rice Research Repository" (DSpace 9.3). The Shibboleth IdP serves valid SAML metadata. The course schedule is a queryable web interface rather than a formally documented REST/JSON API. The official RiceUniversity GitHub org exists but has zero public repositories. A legacy third-party RiceAPI (api.riceapps.org) did not resolve and was excluded. No endpoints were fabricated.
