Do you need a list of universities and their domain names? You found it!
This package includes a JSON file that contains domains, names and countries of most of the universities of the world.
- You can create a validation script that checks the email domain.
- You can automatically generate a user's country and university by looking at their emails.
You can use this data source in three ways:
- Use the JSON file as your data source and do whatever you like with your favourite programming language.
- Use free hosted-API.
- Use the tiny Python app to serve a fast API that you can query data.
The whole data source is located in the world_universities_and_domains.json file. It is just a list of dictionaries in the following format:
[
...
{
"alpha_two_code": "TR",
"country": "Turkey",
"domain": "sabanciuniv.edu.tr",
"name": "Sabanci University",
"web_page": "http://www.sabanciuniv.edu.tr/"
},
...
]
NOTE: Some universities use a format like [user]@[department].[domain], but this list only contains the [domain] portion.
For example, an email address might be [student]@cs.usc.edu, and this list will contain 'usc.edu', the domain for the
University of Southern California. Take this into consideration if using this list for email address validation.
This is the easiest method if you're making a small project or just want to discover the data without any hassle. It is sponsored by Hipo and free. If you have a big project, please host it on your own server.
Some example searches:
- http://universities.hipolabs.com
- http://universities.hipolabs.com/search?name=middle
- http://universities.hipolabs.com/search?name=middle&country=turkey
The hosted API uses university-domains-list-api package.
You can access the python API via university-domains-list-api
