Macquarie University

Macquarie University is a public research university in Sydney, Australia, ranked #133 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, developer-relevant API footprint is concentrated in research-data and library infrastructure rather than a single branded developer portal. The Macquarie University Research Data Repository (RDR) runs on Figshare for Institutions, which exposes content through the public Figshare REST API v2 and an OAI-PMH metadata endpoint; the university Library maintains public open-source tooling on GitHub built around Ex Libris Alma. Authentication for institutional systems is provided via a Shibboleth/SAML identity provider. No dedicated, publicly documented Macquarie University developer portal or open-data API platform was found during this review.

Macquarie University publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including altmetric API, articles API, authors API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research Data, and Library.

The Macquarie University catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Macquarie University’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, and 11 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/macquarie: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
