Massey University

Massey University (Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa) is a public research university in New Zealand with campuses in Palmerston North (Manawatū), Wellington and Albany (Auckland). Its machine-readable footprint is real but small, and it is three different things at once. The university itself operates three callable surfaces: an OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint and a DSpace 8.3 HAL/JSON REST API on its own host for Massey Research Online / Pātaka Rangahau, and the M-API, a news, events and staff-directory web service documented at www.massey.ac.nz/api/v1/ which is live and answering but API-key gated, self-described as unsupported, and closed to new key applications; the later M-API v1_2 host, api.massey.ac.nz, now states the service is no longer available. It operates two identity surfaces that are stronger than any of its APIs: a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 Identity Provider at idp.massey.ac.nz published through the Tuakiri Federation and eduGAIN, and a Microsoft Entra ID tenant discoverable by domain. And it is registered in three identifier registries - DataCite (as a DataCite New Zealand consortium organization with two repositories), Crossref (two members, three prefixes) and ROR. Everything else that looks like a Massey API is a vendor's: library discovery is EBSCO Discovery Service, opening hours and enquiries run on Springshare LibCal and LibAnswers. There is no central developer portal, no published API catalog, no llms.txt and no .well-known/apis.json.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Massey University the way a machine reads it — 25 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Massey University scores 39.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 33/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Massey University

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Massey University. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 11

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Massey University, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
