Curtin Web Platform API (mimas/v1)

Curtin's own REST namespace on its public web platform, keyless and live. Serves the global navigation, site menu and footer shared across Curtin's federated WordPress estate, and exposes search/elastic — a raw Elasticsearch proxy over Curtin course and unit learning offerings, making it the university's de-facto public course-catalog search. One endpoint, /mimas/v1/header, is referer-restricted and returns 403. Curtin publishes no description of any of this; the OpenAPI here was derived from live probes and from Curtin's own WordPress REST discovery document. The other 24 namespaces on the same host are WordPress core or plugin vendors and are deliberately not described under Curtin's name.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Curtin Web Platform API (mimas/v1), 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.
