Griffith University

aid: griffith
name: Griffith University
description: 'Griffith University is a public research university in Queensland, Australia, ranked #255 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint centers on research and library infrastructure rather than
  a formal developer portal. Griffith Research Online (GRO), the institutional repository, runs on DSpace 7.6 and exposes
  both a REST API and an OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint for harvesting publication and research-output metadata. The university also
  operates a Canvas LMS instance whose Instructure REST API documentation is publicly reachable, and maintains active GitHub
  organizations for its Library and eResearch Services teams. No unified, self-service Griffith developer portal was found;
  most administrative, course, timetable, and identity interfaces are gated behind institutional affiliation.'
