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.
