University of Queensland

The University of Queensland (UQ) is a public research university in Brisbane, Australia, ranked #54 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UQ's public developer and API footprint is concentrated in its library and research infrastructure: UQ eSpace, the institutional digital repository (built on the Fez/Fedora platform), exposes an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint and a documented REST API with executable examples. The UQ Library maintains an active public GitHub organisation (uqlibrary) with 150+ repositories. Broader institutional/transactional data access is governed through the Central Integration Platform and Data Hub, which are gated and require approval rather than offering open self-service APIs.

University of Queensland publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, University, Research, and Library.

The University of Queensland catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

University of Queensland’s developer surface includes GitHub presence and 11 more developer resources.
