![](https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=publicdata.au&sz=96)

Public services · publicdata.au

## publicdata.au

Search and query Australian government open datasets. Agents can find datasets, query rows, compare versions and vote for new ones.

[Open publicdata.au](https://publicdata.au/backlog/)

## Ask an agent to

-   Find datasets on NSW school enrolments
-   Sum a served dataset's values grouped by year
-   Vote for a dataset I want built as CSV

## 12 tools

-   `count_rows`read-only
    
    Count, sum, average, minimum or maximum rows of a served dataset across the whole table, grouped by up to three fields. For the rows themselves use query\_rows. Field names and values for group\_by and where come from…
    
    group\_by: array?, limit: integer?, metric: string?, slug: string, version: string?, where: object?
    
-   `diff_versions`read-only
    
    Compare two consecutive versions of a served dataset row by row on its key fields, to see what a publisher changed between releases. from and to must be adjacent dates in the version history from get\_dataset, older…
    
    from: string, slug: string, to: string
    
-   `find_dataset_page`
    
    Search every dataset on Australia's government open-data portals by title, publisher or topic and open the results page. Datasets served here are marked.
    
    q: string?
    
-   `get_dataset`read-only
    
    Read a served dataset's data package and full version history: licence, attribution, whole-table files and the version dates diff\_versions and the version parameter take. It carries no rows. To answer from the rows…
    
    slug: string
    
-   `list_backlog`read-only
    
    List the datasets people have asked publicdata.au to build, most votes first. Use it to see what is wanted or under way, or to check that a vote counted. To add a vote use upvote\_dataset. To read a dataset that is…
    
-   `list_fields`read-only
    
    List a served dataset's fields, with their types, descriptions, ranges and values, before querying it. Call it before query\_rows or count\_rows unless you already know the exact names and values, because where matches…
    
    slug: string
    
-   `list_partitions`read-only
    
    List the download files that split a served dataset's newest version by one field, such as one file per year. Use it to hand someone a slice of the data as a file. It gives file links and no rows, so to answer a…
    
    field: string, slug: string
    
-   `query_rows`read-only
    
    Read individual rows of a served dataset, filtered across the whole table. For totals and breakdowns use count\_rows, and for files use get\_dataset or list\_partitions. Field names and values for where, select and order…
    
    limit: integer?, offset: integer?, order: string?, select: array?, slug: string, version: string?, where: object?
    
-   `request_dataset`
    
    Vote for a government dataset by its portal URL. A URL the catalogue holds becomes a vote for that dataset; the answer says so or explains why it cannot take one. No identity is recorded.
    
    url: string
    
-   `search_catalogue`read-only
    
    Search every dataset listed on Australia's government portals, including the many publicdata.au does not serve yet. Its records describe data held elsewhere, which cannot be queried here. Use it when search\_datasets…
    
    jurisdiction: string?, offset: integer?, query: string, votable\_only: boolean?
    
-   `search_datasets`read-only
    
    Find the slug of a served dataset. Start here for any question about Australian government data, since the other tools read only the datasets this finds. Every word in query must match the title, summary, publisher…
    
    query: string
    
-   `upvote_dataset`
    
    Add one anonymous vote for a government dataset that publicdata.au does not serve yet, so it is built sooner. To read a served dataset use search\_datasets, and to see the votes so far use list\_backlog. slug is a vote…

Tool names and descriptions are what publicdata.au/backlog/ registered when we loaded it in Chrome 154 on Browser Use Cloud. The summary and the “ask an agent” lines are AI-written from them. To call the tools yourself, see [Chrome’s WebMCP docs](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/webmcp). [How we found it](https://browser-use.com/webmcp#method).
