University of Auckland Course Catalog Api V3

Read-only access to the University of Auckland course catalogue, described by the University as "Exposes some course information by querying CS9 views" — CS9 being its PeopleSoft Campus Solutions instance. Twelve operations across a Courses API (courses by subject, course by id) and a Reference Data API (terms, subjects, consent codes, component codes, academic organisations, groups and careers), plus an operational POST /cache/reload/collections. OpenAPI 3.1.0. Live and access-controlled - the route returns HTTP 401 without a key issued through the developer portal. Note two defects in the University's own document, preserved verbatim rather than silently corrected: servers[0].url is published as "httpss://apis.auckland.ac.nz/courses/v3" (the working base is https://), and info.version reads "3.0" while the path segment says v3.
