Massey University

aid: massey
name: Massey University
description: 'Massey University is a public research university in New Zealand with campuses in Palmerston North, Wellington,
  and Auckland, ranked #239 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is centered on
  Massey Research Online (MRO), the institutional repository built on DSpace 8.3, which exposes a standards-based OAI-PMH
  2.0 metadata-harvesting interface and a HAL/JSON DSpace REST API. The university''s former M-API WebService is now a legacy
  service and is no longer available. There is no broadly published general-purpose developer portal; most institutional API
  access (the historical M-API) was gated behind an ITS Service Desk developer-key request.'
