Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington is a public research university in Wellington, New Zealand, ranked #244 in the QS World University Rankings 2025.

Confirmed public interfaces include a Figshare-powered Open Access research repository exposing an OAI-PMH metadata feed and the Figshare v2 REST API, and an Ex Libris Primo (Te Waharoa) discovery service backed by Alma. The university also maintains public GitHub organizations for its web UI toolkit and library engineering work.
