University of Western Australia
The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a public research university in Perth, Western Australia, a member of the Group of Eight, and ranked in the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings. Its programmable footprint is small, and most of what appears to be a UWA API is not: the research repository at research-repository.uwa.edu.au runs on Elsevier Pure and its /ws/api/524 web service is Elsevier's contract, and library discovery at onesearch.library.uwa.edu.au is Ex Libris Primo VE under tenant 61UWA_INST. Both are real UWA services and neither is UWA engineering. What UWA genuinely operates and exposes is narrower and more interesting: a fully open, unauthenticated OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint at api.research-repository.uwa.edu.au/ws/oai serving 167 sets across five metadata formats with no key required, and a Shibboleth SAML 2.0 identity provider publishing signed federation metadata at idp.uwa.edu.au/idp/shibboleth. UWA also runs a Microsoft Azure API Management estate — a developer portal at api-portal.uwa.edu.au and a live gateway at api.uwa.edu.au — but the product catalog sits behind sign-in and the portal's own signup path returns 404, so nothing there is publicly enumerable. No open data portal, no public course or timetable API, and no first-party OpenAPI of any kind was found.
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.
API Evangelist profiles University of Western Australia the way a machine reads it — 10 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 Western Australia scores 47.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 27/100 (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 Western Australia
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for University of Western 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.
UWA Research Repository OAI-PMH
An open, unauthenticated OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint operated by UWA on its own host. All six protocol verbs returned 200 on 2026-08-30 with no credential presented...

UWA operates its own Shibboleth identity provider and publishes signed SAML 2.0 federation metadata at https://idp.uwa.edu.au/idp/shibboleth (200, 5,081 bytes). The document is ...

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 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 Western 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.
