API access

Every figure and fact behind these visualisations is available as a read-only JSON API. The endpoints expose the same platform-computed numbers the pages render — nothing a model generated, only the canonical data sourced from data.gov.au (FOI statistics) plus the deterministic figures computed from it.

Endpoints

Endpoint	What it returns
`GET /api/`	Dataset info: snapshot, window modes, measures, figure/stat keys, source link, disclaimer.
`GET /api/figures`	Every computed figure/stat with its `basis` label — the numbers behind the charts.
`GET /api/facts`	The long-form canonical facts (agency × measure × bucket), filterable by `fy`, `measure`, `bucket`, `agency`, `quarter`, paged by `limit`/`offset`.
`GET /api/measures`	The measure groups and the measures within each.
`GET /api/provenance`	The curated provenance registry (source files, hashes, derivations, curation decisions); add `?key=` for one figure's live row basis.

Throttling

The API is rate-limited per client IP (a fixed window) so a public, unauthenticated demo isn't overloaded. A 429 response carries a Retry-After header telling you when to try again. The limits are modest and tuned for demo traffic — this is not a production data service.

Source

The underlying data is the FOI statistics dataset on data.gov.au (dataset b0771c28-09cc-4c4e-9e61-9a96f6e3d040). See the Data notes and disclaimer for how agencies, renames and personal information are handled.
