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.
