Example: `_id asc` Response schema example: ```json { "api_url": "https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/datastore_search", "dump_url": "https://data.gov.au/data/datastore/dump/db892d66-8a19-4b1f-ae14-3c389ab24eb5?format=csv", "fields": [ { "id": "_id", "type": "int" }, { "id": "Income year1", "type": "text" }, { "id": "2010-11", "type": "text" }, { "id": "2011-12", "type": "numeric" }, { "id": "2012-13", "type": "numeric" }, { "id": "2013-14", "type": "numeric" } ], "fields_requested": null, "filters": null, "limit": 3, "next_cursor": "3", "observed_at_ms": 1791919883420, "offset": 0, "q": null, "records": [ { "2010-11": "791441", "2011-12": 839902, "2012-13": 878507, "2013-14": 884611, "Income year1": "Number of individuals2", "_id": 1 }, { "2010-11": null, "2011-12": null, "2012-13": null, "2013-14": null, "Income year1": "", "_id": 2 }, { "2010-11": null, "2011-12": null, "2012-13": null, "2013-14": null, "Income year1": "Member contribution statement items2", "_id": 3 } ], "resource_id": "db892d66-8a19-4b1f-ae14-3c389ab24eb5", "returned": 3, "sort": null, "total": 29 } ``` ### Search datasets - Capability: `open-data/search_datasets` - Description: Search the data.gov.au catalogue (CKAN package_search): full-text query plus organisation, tag, format, licence, group, raw Solr `fq` and bounding-box filters, sorted and paged. Returns dataset cards with their resources (ids, formats, download URLs, `datastore_active`) and the top facet values for the query. Harvested records from state portals and AURIN are included; `harvest_source` says where a record came from. - Instructions: Start here to find datasets and their resource ids. Use `organization` with a slug from list_organizations (ABS Census tables: `government-of-the-commonwealth-of-australia-australian-bureau-of-statistics-australian-urban-researc`; ABS: `australianbureauofstatistics`). Add `fq: "res_datastore_active:true"` to keep only datasets whose rows query_datastore can read. - Cost: 5 credits per call - Capability file: [Search datasets](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/data-gov-au/open-data/search_datasets) Accepted options: - `cursor` (string): Result offset to resume from: the `next_cursor` of the previous page. Pattern: ^[0-9]{1,9}$. Example: `next_cursor` - `ext_bbox` (string): Bounding box `minx,miny,maxx,maxy` (WGS84 lon/lat); keeps datasets whose spatial extent intersects it. Pattern: ^-?[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]+)?,-?[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]+)?,-?[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]+)?,-?[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]+)?$. Example: `minx,miny,maxx,maxy` - `fq` (string): Raw Solr filter query ANDed with the filters above, e.g. `res_datastore_active:true` or `metadata_modified:[2025-01-01T00:00:00Z TO *]`. Example: `res_datastore_active:true` - `group` (string): Topic group slug, e.g. `business`. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]+$. Example: `` - `license_id` (string): Licence id, e.g. `cc-by`, `CC-BY-4.0`. Example: `cc-by` - `organization` (string): Organisation slug, e.g. `australianbureauofstatistics` (from list_organizations or facets.organization[].name). Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]+$. Example: `` - `q` (string): Full-text query (Solr syntax allowed: quotes, AND/OR, field:value). Omit to list everything. Example: `` - `res_format` (string): Resource format a dataset must offer, e.g. `CSV`, `XLSX`, `WMS`. Example: `` - `rows` (number): Datasets per page. Example: `20` - `sort` (string): Solr sort, e.g. `metadata_modified desc`, `title_string asc`. Default `score desc, metadata_modified desc`. Pattern: ^[A-Za-z_]+ (asc|desc)(, [A-Za-z_]+ (asc|desc))*$. Example: `metadata_modified desc` - `tags` (string[]): Tags that must all be present. Case-sensitive (`Census` and `census` are different tags). Example: `[]` Response schema example: ```json { "api_url": "https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/package_search?q=*%3A*&fq=organization%3A%22australianbureauofstatistics%22+AND+tags%3A%22Census%22&rows=2&start=0&sort=metadata_created+asc&facet.field=%5B%22organization%22%2C%22tags%22%2C%22res_format%22%2C%22license_id%22%2C%22groups%22%5D&facet.limit=10", "count": 10, "facets": { "groups": [], "license_id": [ { "count": 10, "display_name": "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia", "name": "cc-by" } ], "organization": [ { "count": 10, "display_name": "Australian Bureau of Statistics", "name": "australianbureauofstatistics" } ], "res_format": [ { "count": 10, "display_name": "HTML", "name": "HTML" } ], "tags": [ { "count": 6, "display_name": "Vic", "name": "Vic" }, { "count": 5, "display_name": "Tas", "name": "Tas" }, { "count": 6, "display_name": "State", "name": "State" }, { "count": 5, "display_name": "SA", "name": "SA" }, { "count": 5, "display_name": "New South Wales", "name": "New South Wales" }, { "count": 5, "display_name": "NT", "name": "NT" }, { "count": 6, "display_name": "NSW", "name": "NSW" }, { "count": 10, "display_name": "Census", "name": "Census" }, { "count": 5, "display_name": "Australian Capital Territory", "name": "Australian Capital Territory" }, { "count": 6, "display_name": "ACT", "name": "ACT" } ] }, "filters": { "ext_bbox": null, "fq": null, "group": null, "license_id": null, "organization": "australianbureauofstatistics", "res_format": null, "tags": [ "Census" ] }, "next_cursor": "2", "observed_at_ms": 1791919894571, "query": null, "results": [ { "author": "Australian Bureau of Statistics", "formats": [ "HTML" ], "groups": [], "harvest_source": { "href": "https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/population-projections-by-region-2012-2061", "site_url": "https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/", "title": "data.gov.au" }, "id": "a2619d70-85fe-42d7-8092-2d5dd364fe0e", "language": "English", "license_id": "cc-by", "license_title": "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia", "license_url": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/", "metadata_created": "2014-04-03T06:02:30.198129", "metadata_modified": "2025-07-28T00:23:02.332552", "name": "population-projections-by-region-2012-2061", "notes": "Population projections illustrate how Australia's population will change in the future as a result of certain assumptions.
