**APIs profiled:** 12

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.
