description: 'The University of Newcastle (UON) is a public research university based in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia,
  ranked #179 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Like most Australian universities, UON does not operate a dedicated
  public API developer portal; the bulk of its student, staff, and enterprise systems (myUni, online tools, ServiceNow) sit
  behind institutional SSO and are not openly documented. Its most accessible programmatic footprint is research-oriented:
  Open Research Newcastle, the institutional open access repository hosted on the Figshare platform, exposes machine-readable
  access via the Figshare public REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint, and the University maintains a research code presence on
  GitHub.'

  description: Open Research Newcastle, on the Figshare platform, exposes an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint for its
    open access records. The endpoint is reachable at openresearch.newcastle.edu.au/oai; automated clients may encounter a
    platform bot-mitigation challenge (HTTP 202) and standard OAI-PMH harvesting verbs (Identify, ListRecords, ListSets) are
    supported by the Figshare repository software.
