Monash University

Monash University is a public research university based in Melbourne, Australia, and a member of the Group of Eight. It ranked #42 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is modest and largely indirect: research data is published through monash.figshare on the figshare platform (which exposes a versioned REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint), and Monash eResearch operates a Cloud Resource Allocation and Management System (CRAMS) API portal. Monash maintains a GitHub organization (currently with no public repositories) alongside team and student-innovation orgs. No central, openly documented institutional developer portal for course, catalog, timetable, or SIS APIs was found to be publicly available.

Monash 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, and Open Data.

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

Monash University’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, and 12 more developer resources.
