Victoria University of Wellington

Website Global Object

A public, keyless JSON endpoint served by the university's own website CMS at www.wgtn.ac.nz/api/globalobject. It returns the global site object every page is built from: canonical base URLs including the roots of the course catalogue and the study-area explorer, the brand logo asset manifest at every breakpoint, the primary, utility and footer navigation trees, the apply call-to-action, the public and intranet search form contracts, and the institution's public contact numbers and email. Verified live on 2026-08-30: HTTP 200, Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*", Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, HEAD, OPTIONS", Last-Modified 2024-04-10. It is undocumented and unversioned, and it returns a JSON body under a text/html Content-Type. The OpenAPI below was derived by API Evangelist from the live response, not published by the university.

  title: Te Herenga Waka Website Global Object Website API
  description: |-
    An undocumented but public, keyless JSON endpoint served by Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington's own website (Squiz Matrix CMS) at https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/api/globalobject. It returns the global site object the university's front end is built from: canonical base URLs (main domain, intranet, CDN assets, courses, explore), the brand logo asset manifest at every breakpoint, the primary/alternate/footer navigation trees, the apply call-to-action, the public and intranet search form contracts, and the institution's public contact numbers and address.
    THIS CONTRACT WAS NOT PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY. It was derived by API Evangelist from a live, unauthenticated probe of the endpoint on 2026-08-30 (HTTP 200, Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS). The university publishes no developer documentation, no versioning policy and no support channel for it, and it may change or be withdrawn without notice. It is recorded here because it is one of only two machine-readable surfaces the institution itself operates, as opposed to the vendor platforms it buys.
    Note that the endpoint returns a JSON body under a `text/html; charset=utf-8` Content-Type.

    No credential of any kind is issued or accepted on this endpoint; it was called anonymously and returned a full response. The empty `security` array states that explicitly rather than leaving it unsaid.
