University of Waikato
The University of Waikato (Te Whare Wananga o Waikato) is a public research university in Hamilton and Tauranga, Aotearoa New Zealand, founded in 1964. It runs no developer programme, no developer portal and no self-serve public API, and this profile says so plainly. What it does operate itself is narrow but real and unusually well evidenced for this cohort: an OpenID Connect provider of its own on api.svc.waikato.ac.nz/uowidp/v1, publishing a live discovery document and JWKS and used by the university's own Blazor timetable and its MyWaikato student portal; Research Commons, a DSpace 7.6.5 institutional repository on its own host serving a DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH 2.0 interface with twelve metadata formats back to 1972; a One-Time Secret API run by IT Services with documented endpoints under HTTP Basic against a Stella account; a Moodle LMS acting as an LTI 1.3 platform with live platform keys; and the UFDL deep-learning framework API from the Computing and Mathematical Sciences faculty, alongside four active GitHub organisations (Waikato, waikato-ufdl, waikato-datamining, waikato-llm) that include WEKA. Its identity is federated twice over — a Shibboleth IdP entity registered in Tuakiri since 2012 with REFEDS Research & Scholarship and Sirtfi, exported to eduGAIN, and a Microsoft Entra ID tenant that is the live SAML issuer for eLearn. The university also publishes an llms.txt with explicit attribution and generative-model usage terms, which almost no institution in this cohort does. Everything else that looks like a Waikato API is a tenancy on somebody else's platform — Symplectic Discovery behind profiles.waikato.ac.nz, Ex Libris Primo VE, Springshare LibGuides behind libraryguides.waikato.ac.nz, and waikato.figshare.com — and is recorded here as a relationship, never as a University of Waikato contract.
University of Waikato publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Identity Provider (uowidp). Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, New Zealand, and Research.
The University of Waikato catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
University of Waikato’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 24 more developer resources.
