name: Australian National University
description: 'The Australian National University (ANU) is a public research university in Canberra, ranked #28 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025 and consistently among Australia''s leading institutions. ANU''s public developer/API footprint
  is modest and research-driven rather than centered on a single institutional developer portal. The most prominent public
  API is QRNG@ANU (ANU Quantum Numbers), which serves live quantum random numbers over HTTP. ANU also exposes its Open Research
  institutional repository metadata via a standard OAI-PMH endpoint. Most administrative systems (timetabling, programs and
  courses, student services) are gated or community-scraped rather than offered as documented public APIs.'

  name: QRNG@ANU Quantum Random Numbers API
  description: Public API serving live quantum random numbers generated by ANU's quantum optics research group. The legacy
    JSON endpoint returns arrays of uint8, uint16, or hex16 values (array length 1-1024) and requires no signup. A newer AWS-hosted
    service at quantumnumbers.anu.edu.au offers the same data with a free registered API key.
