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.
