Macquarie University Research Portal OAI-PMH is one of 8 APIs that [Macquarie University](https://apis.io/providers/macquarie/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include OAI-PMH, Metadata Harvesting, Research Repository, Research Data, and Publications. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, and API documentation.

The one institution-operated, keyless, machine-readable API surface Macquarie publishes. OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting for the Macquarie University Research Portal, served from the university's own registrable domain, identifying itself as "Macquarie University Research Portal" with adminEmail rms.support@mq.edu.au. All six verbs execute anonymously; five metadata formats are supported (oai_dc, mods, xmetadiss, nl_didl, qdc); publications:all reports a completeListSize of 114,062. The research-information system behind it is Elsevier Pure, but this interface is an open protocol on the institution's host under the institution's identity — Elsevier's own product API at /ws/api is a separate, vendor-owned surface and is recorded below as a tenant relationship, not as Macquarie's.
