DataQuoll

The declaration/activation for an Australian Government Reference Number, merged across sources with the full affected-LGA list. Requires the "declarations" entitlement on the API key. Accounts without it get a clear error rather than an empty result, so an empty response never means "not entitled".

Returns the declaration STATUS for the local government area containing a lat/lng point, resolved against ABS LGA 2022 (ASGS Edition 3) boundary polygons at full resolution. POST with a JSON body is used deliberately so coordinates never appear in URLs or request logs; the request is read-only and safe to retry. Coordinates are never stored, logged, or echoed back, and the response is Cache-Control: no-store. Reports declared-area status only; the billing decision rests with the practitioner. A point outside every Australian LGA returns unknown_location. A point exactly on a shared LGA boundary returns every covering area with onBoundary=true. LGA matching is at ABS code level; some ABS codes aggregate multiple administrative areas (for example Unincorporated NSW covers both Far West and Lord Howe Island). Requires the "declarations" entitlement on the API key. Accounts without it get a clear error rather than an empty result, so an empty response never means "not entitled".

Returns the declaration STATUS for a postcode: declared, partial, activation_only, not_declared, uncertain, or unknown_postcode, with per-LGA detail and official source links. Reports declared-area status only; the billing/eligibility decision rests with the practitioner. Built for Medicare disaster telehealth checks. Requires the "declarations" entitlement on the API key. Accounts without it get a clear error rather than an empty result, so an empty response never means "not entitled".

Returns attribution information for all data sources, including licence details. Required for CC BY compliance.

The answer for one date in one jurisdiction. A jurisdiction-wide public holiday wins, then the weekend, then the calendar's own entries in order (industry shutdown, RDO, part-day holiday, annual leave, industry event); otherwise working. Restricted holidays (a show day for one region, a public-service-only day) never decide it and are returned under restricted for the caller to apply to the employer's area.

The day rows for one jurisdiction across a date range, each date answered by exactly one edition. Defaults to the current calendar year in the jurisdiction's own time zone; a lone from or to extends to the edge of its own year. Every place the calendar disagrees with the official list is returned under discrepancies. Rows can be CSV with format=csv.

Returns a single clustered event by ID. Use `include_incidents=true` to also retrieve all incidents that belong to this event cluster.

Returns a single gauge station plus its trailing 6 hours of raw readings (enough to see the current trend). Deeper history is the tier-gated /gauges/{id}/readings endpoint.

Counts of gauges at or above minor/moderate/major flood classification, grouped by state or LGA, plus the full list of at-or-above-minor stations (capped at 500). STALE GUARD: only readings within the staleness horizon enter class counts — a days-old reading above minor is counted as stale, never as a current flood signal.

Returns a single incident as a GeoJSON Feature.

Returns all valid enum values for event types, categories, states, warning levels, and other filterable fields. Use this to discover what values are accepted by filter parameters. No authentication required.

What official sources recorded near a location, unioned with the disaster declarations that covered its local government area. Two lanes are returned because both are required: the observed lane (historical archive plus live-era incident history within a radius) and the declared lane (declarations for the covering ABS LGA, counted once per AGRN even when several authorities recorded the same event). Measured example: a Lismore address returns the February 2022 flood only through the declared lane, because the spatial lane holds no record for it at address precision. POST with a JSON body is used deliberately so coordinates never appear in URLs or request logs; the request is read-only and safe to retry. Coordinates are never stored, logged, or echoed back, and the response is Cache-Control: no-store. This reports a RECORD and a declared STATUS. It is not an assessment of risk, insurability, or any obligation, and absence of a record is not evidence that nothing happened. Precision is reported per record: a record at postcode precision sits at a postcode centroid, which can be kilometres from the event. Requires the "hazard-history" entitlement on the API key. Accounts without it get a clear error rather than an empty result, so an empty response never means "not entitled".

Returns the incidents that were active at a specific point in time. Recent datetimes are reconstructed from live and lifecycle data. Datetimes before 2026-04-08 are reconstructed from the historical archive (4.8M+ records) and are gated by the same tier lookback as /incidents/history (free has no archive access; Starter 1 year, Developer and Business 5 years, Pro and Enterprise unlimited). Archive (pre-2026-04-08) snapshots require a state filter, and meta.source indicates whether the result came from "live" or "archive".

Every industry-calendar edition on the platform, one per jurisdiction and year (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT for 2026), with its publisher, cover range and per-category counts. RDOs, public holidays, school holidays and industry shutdowns, read from each branch calendar and verified against the Fair Work Ombudsman list and the education departments' term dates.

Browse and historically report on declaration records. Filters and keyset (cursor) pagination. Record status is derived at query time. Requires the "declarations" entitlement on the API key. Accounts without it get a clear error rather than an empty result, so an empty response never means "not entitled".

Returns spatially clustered emergency events as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection. Events group related incidents using PostGIS ST_ClusterDBSCAN spatial clustering. Each event has a boundary polygon, centroid, affected suburbs, contributing agencies, and auto-generated title and summary. Only active events are returned by default.

Historical water level readings for one gauge. Free tier is blocked (the free surface is current readings on /gauges and the 6-hour window on /gauges/{id}). Starter tier limited to 1 year lookback, Developer and Business to 5 years, Pro and Enterprise unlimited. Retention ladder: raw 30 days, hourly rollups 90 days, daily forever — plus full-resolution raw inside flood-event windows kept forever. interval=auto picks the finest granularity available for the requested window.

Returns river gauge stations with their latest water level, the Bureau of Meteorology flood classification thresholds for each gauge, and a derived floodClass (below_minor, minor, moderate, major, or unclassified) computed from the latest reading against the published thresholds. Water-level readings are in metres relative to each gauge's local datum (each gauge carries its own unit, since some report in AHD). readingStatus flags stale data (bom-kiwis sourced stations are a 1-2 day archive, stale horizon 72 hours; bcc-telemetry are event-driven council ALERT loggers, stale horizon 48 hours; telemetry sources 24 hours). Defaults to water-level gauges; pass variable=rainfall for observed rainfall gauges, which report incremental millimetres and carry no flood classification. Status reporting, not flood prediction.

Returns historical emergency incidents from the 4.8M+ record archive (1840-2026). Free tier is blocked. Starter tier limited to 1 year lookback, Developer and Business to 5 years, Pro and Enterprise unlimited.

Returns a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of all current emergency incidents, with support for filtering, pagination, and bounding box queries. Example response: { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "id": "nsw-rfs-1234567", "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ 150.604, -33.883 ] }, "properties": { "source": { "state": "nsw", "agency": "RFS", "feedId": "1234567" }, "title": "Bush Fire - Warragamba", "eventType": "bushfire", "status": "active", "warningLevel": "watch_and_act", "severity": "Severe", "urgency": "Expected", "certainty": "Observed", "location": { "address": "Warragamba Dam Rd, Warragamba NSW", "suburb": "Warragamba", "state": "NSW", "latitude": -33.883, "longitude": 150.604 }, "details": { "description": "Bush fire burning in a south-easterly direction" }, "timestamps": { "reported": "2026-04-07T14:30:00+10:00", "updated": "2026-04-07T16:45:00+10:00", "fetched": "2026-04-07T16:46:12+10:00" }, "retraction": { "retracted": true, "retractedAt": "2026 ...

Returns the status of each state feed, including last poll time, health, and incident count.

Returns incidents within a radius (km) of a given lat/lng coordinate, sorted by distance.
