Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

OAuth2 client-credentials flow against the Dealroom Auth0 tenant. Use the client_id / client_secret from a Programmatic API key. Tokens are valid for 24h — Swagger UI will reuse the same token across operations.

Query Parameters

​
filter
string

Filter expression for universities (organization_subtype = university) using nested syntax.

Examples:

  • Single: alumni_founder_count[gte]:100
  • AND: and(alumni_founder_count[gte]:100,location_country[eq]:233)

Operators: eq, neq, gt, gte, lt, lte, in_any, nin_any Default ref: 'entity' (can be omitted for entity filters)

Example:

"and(alumni_founder_count[gte]:100,location_country[eq]:233)"

​
limit
integer<int32>
default:25

Number of results to return (1-500, default 25)

Required range: 1 <= x <= 500
Example:

25

​
offset
integer<int32>
default:0

Number of results to skip before returning data. Combine with limit for offset-based pagination.

Required range: x >= 0
Example:

0

​
cursor
string

Opaque cursor token from a previous response's page.next_cursor or page.prev_cursor. Round-trip it as-is — do not decode or modify.

Example:

"eyJ2IjoxLCJkIjoibmV4dCJ9"

​
sort
string

Sort by one or more keys. Prefix with - for descending order; comma-separated for multi-key sorts.

Pattern: ^-?[\w,]+$
Example:

"-launch_date"

​
include_total
boolean

Pass true to include page.total (the matching record count) in the response. Default omits the total to avoid a count query.

Example:

true

​
currency
string

ISO 4217 currency code for monetary field conversion. Defaults to USD.

Example:

"EUR"
