University of Auckland

aid: university-of-auckland
name: University of Auckland
description: 'The University of Auckland is New Zealand''s largest and highest-ranked university, placed #92 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its public developer and API footprint is modest and decentralized rather than a single unified
  developer portal. The most clearly documented machine-readable interfaces are its institutional Figshare research data repository
  (REST API and OAI-PMH, institution id 12) and a public University Directory staff-search API. The University also maintains
  a domain-verified GitHub organization where it publishes open-source projects spanning data engineering, identity integration,
  and research tooling.'
