A curated JSON dataset of world universities with their domain names, countries, and web pages, plus a small Python tooling layer and a free hosted search API. It is primarily a data source for email domain validation and inferring a user's country or university from their email address.

Use cases

• validate that a signup email belongs to a university domain
• infer a user's country and university from their email address
• search universities by name or country in an app
• build a custom autocomplete of universities for a form
• filter the dataset to a subset of countries for a smaller payload
• self-host a REST API serving university data

When to choose

• you need an open, community-maintained list of university domains and names
• you want to gate signups to academic email addresses
• you need to enrich user profiles with country/university derived from email
• you want a free hosted API for quick prototypes

When to avoid

• you need department-level subdomains for strict email validation (only root domains are listed)
• you need guaranteed real-time accuracy of university data
• you need non-academic institution domains
• you require SLA-backed API availability for large production traffic (self-host instead)
