description: >-
  University of Wollongong is a non-commercial higher-education institution and sells no API as a
  product. It publishes no API specification, no developer portal and no plan or price list of any
  kind. The only publicly readable machine-readable surface it operates itself is the SAML 2.0
  metadata for its Shibboleth Identity Provider, which is free and unauthenticated. Everything else
  it operates is credential-gated (courses.uow.edu.au/api returns HTTP 403; api.uow.edu.au is not
  publicly reachable), and its research and library platforms are Figshare, Symplectic and Ex Libris
  tenancies whose commercial terms are the vendors', not UOW's. Access is governed by institutional
  affiliation and federation membership, not by a paid plan.
notes: >-
  No published per-seat or per-call commercial pricing was found. "Free / Open" reflects the one
  open unauthenticated endpoint confirmed (the IdP SAML metadata) plus the DataCite, Crossref and
  ROR registry records; "Affiliation / Credentialed" reflects access gated by institutional identity
  rather than payment. The plan entries below are our derivation from an absence of published
  pricing, not a plan UOW publishes.
