  Monash University is a public research university based in Melbourne,
  Australia, and a member of the Group of Eight. It ranked #42 in the QS World
  University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is
  modest and largely indirect: research data is published through monash.figshare
  on the figshare platform (which exposes a versioned REST API and an OAI-PMH
  endpoint), and Monash eResearch operates a Cloud Resource Allocation and
  Management System (CRAMS) API portal. Monash maintains a GitHub organization
  (currently with no public repositories) alongside team and student-innovation
  orgs. No central, openly documented institutional developer portal for course,
  catalog, timetable, or SIS APIs was found to be publicly available.
