Every dataset in the catalog with its endpoints, price and as-of date. Use it to find what we hold for a theme or a geography level, then call /v1/datasets/{slug} for the method and field list.

About this data

What this is

The catalogue of every dataset we publish through the API, each with its name, category, the geography levels it answers at (suburb, council area or mesh block), its endpoints, price and as-of date.

What people use it for

  • Developers and AI assistants: find what we hold on a theme, such as crime, schools or planning, before choosing an endpoint.
  • Analysts: see which datasets are modelled and which are measured, and how current each is.

Tips

Filter by category, level or free-text query. For a dataset's method, fields, units, coverage and refresh cycle, use /v1/datasets/{slug}. This catalogue covers the dataset routes; the core suburb and property endpoints are listed in the API reference.
