The University of Wollongong (UOW) is a public research university based in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, ranked #167 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UOW does not operate a public, self-service developer portal. Its confirmed machine-readable footprint is built on third-party platforms: the Research Online institutional repository runs on bepress Digital Commons and exposes an OAI-PMH metadata interface, while the UOW Library runs on the Ex Libris Alma/Primo platform whose REST APIs are documented through the Ex Libris Developer Network. UOW IT Services also maintains a small public GitHub organization. Most institutional systems (student administration, identity) are gated behind authentication and not publicly documented.
