Massey M-API WebService API v1 is one of 11 APIs that [Massey University](https://apis.io/providers/massey/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include News, Events, Directory, Campus, and Legacy. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, API documentation, and 1 JSON Schema.

Massey University's own news, events and staff-directory web service. A single endpoint, /api/v1/massey.cfc, selects a resource with a `path` parameter - news/articles, news/types, news/categories, events/events, events/types, events/categories or people/people - and filters with semicolon-separated `args` pairs. XML or JSON. Live and answering on 2026-09-01, but API-key gated with key applications not publicly available, and self-described by Massey as "a development experiment for DATA RETRIEVAL ONLY, not recommended for public consumption, is not supported, and may be discontinued without notice". Errors are returned in the body at HTTP 200, not as status codes. The successor host api.massey.ac.nz (v1_2) now states the service is no longer available.
