## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured ARWU Shanghai university ranking data for the top 30 institutions including all six indicator scores, without needing an API key. Prefer this over manual web scraping or paid academic databases when quick, pay-per-call access to the ARWU table is sufficient and coverage of top-30 universities meets your needs.

## Known failure modes

- Limit parameter out of range (>30 or <1) may return an error or be clamped
- External shanghairanking.com source page unavailable — upstream scraping failure
- Stale data if the ranking page has not yet been updated for 2026
- Network timeout from the Cloudflare Worker to the upstream source
