University of Newcastle Australia
The University of Newcastle (UON) is a public research university in Callaghan and Newcastle, New South Wales, ranked #179 in the QS World University Rankings order used by this cohort. It is a federation of buyers rather than an API producer: there is no central developer portal and no institutional API gateway — api.newcastle.edu.au, apis.newcastle.edu.au, developer.newcastle.edu.au, data.newcastle.edu.au and status.newcastle.edu.au all fail to resolve — and UON publishes no OpenAPI description for anything. What it genuinely operates is small and specific: a Shibboleth identity provider at idp.newcastle.edu.au serving live SAML 2.0 metadata under its own entityID and scope, registered in the Australian Access Federation; and a self-hosted XNAT 1.9.1.1 imaging-informatics platform at xnat.newcastle.edu.au, run with the Hunter Medical Research Institute on the university's own AWS estate, whose REST API answers on UON's host and is registered as a SAML service provider in the same federation. UON also holds two DataCite repository clients in its own name, ARDCX.UON and UONAU.FIGSHARE. Everything else that looks programmable is a tenancy on someone else's platform and is recorded as such, never as UON engineering: Open Research Newcastle is a Figshare tenancy, the course handbook is a CourseLoop tenancy, the learning management system is an Instructure Canvas tenancy, library guides are Springshare, site search is Squiz Funnelback, the student portal is PeopleSoft behind Okta, and the service desk is Oracle B2C Service. This profile was corrected on 2026-08-30: ten OpenAPI documents previously held here were Figshare's generic api.figshare.com/v2 contract, not the university's, and were removed along with everything derived from them.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles University of Newcastle Australia the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — University of Newcastle Australia scores 20.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (human only). 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 University of Newcastle Australia
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Newcastle Australia. 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 5
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.

PLANSRate 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.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.

FINOPSSecurity Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of University of Newcastle Australia, 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.
