University of Queensland
The University of Queensland (UQ) is a public research university in Brisbane, Australia, a member of the Group of Eight and of Universitas 21. Like nearly every institution of its kind, UQ is a federation of buyers rather than an API producer, and its programmable footprint has to be described honestly: UQ operates no developer portal, publishes no API terms, and offers no self-service registration for any interface. What it does operate, verified live on 2026-08-30, is three genuinely institution-run machine-readable surfaces. First, a keyless status API at status.its.uq.edu.au serving JSON, RSS and SVG covering 678 systems across 43 service categories. Second, a SAML 2.0 Shibboleth identity provider that self-serves its own EntityDescriptor at idp-prod.uq.edu.au and is registered in the Australian Access Federation alongside 27 UQ-operated service providers. Third, the UQ eSpace repository API on UQ's own host api.library.uq.edu.au, built and run by UQ Library's own engineering team in the open on GitHub, but blocked to outside clients by a CloudFront WAF. UQ's institutional data platforms — the Central Integration Platform and Data Hub — are real but entirely gated behind an access-request process. Its discovery layer (Ex Libris Primo), reading lists (Talis Aspire) and open-data publishing (the Queensland Government CKAN portal) are tenancies on platforms other parties operate, and are recorded here as tenant relationships rather than as UQ contracts.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles University of Queensland the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 Queensland scores 34.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (agent aware). 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 Queensland
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Queensland. 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 7
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.
UQ Status API
Keyless read-only JSON, RSS and SVG feeds describing the operational state of 678 University of Queensland systems across 43 service categories, plus every published incident. A...
UQ Identity Provider (SAML 2.0 / Shibboleth)
UQ operates a SAML 2.0 Shibboleth identity provider, entityID urn:mace:federation.org.au:testfed:uq.edu.au, with SSO endpoints for the HTTP-Redirect, HTTP-POST and HTTP-POST-Sim...
UQ eSpace REST API
REST API behind UQ eSpace, the institutional repository for UQ research outputs and datasets, operated on UQ's own host by UQ Library. Not callable from outside the institution:...
Central Integration Platform
UQ's internal API platform for transactional and business data, paired with the Data Hub synchronisation platform. Access is neither open nor self-service: consumers request acc...
Queensland Government Open Data Portal (UQ organisation)
UQ has no open data portal of its own. It publishes as an organisation on the Queensland Government's CKAN portal, where a live keyless package_search on 2026-08-30 returned a c...
UQ Library discovery (Ex Libris Primo VE tenancy)
UQ's library discovery layer, a Primo VE tenancy on Ex Libris. No contract is saved under UQ — any Primo or Alma API definition belongs to Ex Libris and scores against Ex Libris.
UQ Reading Lists (Talis Aspire tenancy)
UQ course reading lists hosted on Talis Aspire. Recorded as a tenant relationship; the Talis Aspire APIs are Talis's contract, not UQ's.

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.
Uq Plans Pricing
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.
Uq Rate Limits
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.

FINOPSSemantic 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.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

JSON-LDSpectral Rules 1
Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

JSON SCHEMAExamples 1
Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

EXAMPLESecurity Posture 2
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 Queensland, 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.
