University of Newcastle Australia

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.

University of Newcastle Australia publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including altmetric API, articles API, authors API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Open Research.

The University of Newcastle Australia catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

University of Newcastle Australia’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, and 10 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/uon: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
