RMIT University

aid: rmit
name: RMIT University
description: 'RMIT University is a public research university in Melbourne, Australia, specializing in technology, design
  and enterprise, and ranked #123 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. RMIT does not operate a centralized, publicly
  documented developer portal. Its most accessible programmatic surface is its research output: the RMIT Research Repository
  runs on Clarivate''s Esploro platform, and RMIT''s research data is published via a Figshare-hosted repository whose records
  are exposed through the public Figshare REST API (api.figshare.com) and syndicated to Research Data Australia. Student-facing
  systems such as timetables, the curriculum catalogue, and identity/SSO sit behind authentication and are not offered as
  public APIs.'

  name: RMIT Research Data (Figshare REST API)
  description: RMIT University's research data, publications and non-traditional research outputs are published to a Figshare-hosted
    institutional repository. The publicly accessible records are queryable through the shared Figshare REST API v2 (api.figshare.com),
    which returns RMIT article and dataset metadata as JSON. This is a third-party Figshare platform API, not an RMIT-operated
    endpoint.

  name: RMIT Research Repository (Esploro)
  description: The RMIT Research Repository is RMIT University's open access research portal, powered by Clarivate's Esploro
    research information management platform. It provides public web-based discovery of RMIT publications and research outputs.
    Esploro supports metadata harvesting integrations, but RMIT does not publish a documented public API or open OAI-PMH endpoint
    for the portal.
