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.
