    summary: >-
      Verified live: Massey Research Online (MRO) runs DSpace 8.3 with a working
      OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint (valid Identify response, repository "DSpace at Massey
      University", admin LibIT@massey.ac.nz) and a HAL/JSON DSpace REST API root
      that returns the full HATEOAS link set. The legacy M-API WebService page
      loads but explicitly states the service is no longer available; its
      historical developer-key access was gated behind the ITS Service Desk. No
      general-purpose public developer portal was found. The MasseyUniversity
      GitHub org exists but has no public repositories, so it is not cataloged as
      a developer resource. No endpoints were fabricated.
    endpoints:
      - url: https://mro.massey.ac.nz/server/oai/request?verb=Identify
        status: 200
        note: Valid OAI-PMH 2.0 Identify response, DSpace at Massey University.
