University Domains and Names Data List & API

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.

1 - Using the Data Source

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.

2 - Using Hosted API

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:

The hosted API uses university-domains-list-api package.

3 - Using the built-in API on your server

You can access the python API via university-domains-list-api
