Macquarie University

aid: macquarie
name: Macquarie University
description: '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.'

  description: The Macquarie University Library publishes public open-source utilities on GitHub that integrate with the Ex
    Libris Alma library services platform (for example an Alma toolkit and resource-sharing partner harvest/sync tools). These
    consume the Alma APIs rather than exposing a public Macquarie API of their own.
