publicdata.au

Australian government open data republished as CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, Arrow, GeoJSON and GeoPackage at URLs that never change. Every release is a dated, immutable version with schema, provenance and a diff. Run by National Digital. No government agency has endorsed it. Tools: - Search datasets: Find the slug of a served dataset. - Read a dataset: Read a served dataset's data package and full version history. - List a dataset's fields: List a served dataset's fields, with their types, descriptions, ranges and values, before querying it. - List partition files: List the download files that split a served dataset's newest version by one field, such as one file per year. - Query rows: Read individual rows of a served dataset, filtered across the whole table. - Count and sum rows: Count, sum, average, minimum or maximum rows of a served dataset across the whole table, grouped by up to three fields. - Compare versions: Compare two consecutive versions of a served dataset row by row on its key fields, to see what a publisher changed between releases. - Search government portals: Search every dataset listed on Australia's government portals, including the many publicdata.au does not serve yet. - List the build backlog: List the datasets people have asked publicdata.au to build, most votes first. - Vote for a dataset: Add one anonymous vote for a government dataset that publicdata.au does not serve yet, so it is built sooner. The fields of one dataset by slug: types, the publisher's descriptions, ranges and the values each field holds. Find slugs with search_datasets or resources/list.
