Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/aggregate?group=posted_speed&metric=sum.vehicles_checked Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/v/2026-10-04/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Mobile speed camera visits in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/v/2026-10-04/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 94,329 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits/v/2026-10-04/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does Mobile speed camera visits cover? The current version covers 2016 to 2025. Each release from Access Canberra becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Mobile speed camera visits updated? Access Canberra releases it monthly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Mobile speed camera visits commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Mobile speed camera visits? No. The publisher is Access Canberra, City and Environment Directorate, and its page is https://www.data.act.gov.au/d/d56a-2nhi. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What is in each row? One stay of a mobile speed camera at one site on one day, with the hours it was there, the site and street, the number of vehicles it checked, the posted speed limit, and the highest and average speed of the vehicles that were fined. ### Why are the highest and average speeds 0 in many rows? The publisher states that highest and average speeds from 18 May 2018 are not displayed, and many rows from then on show 0 for both. The zeros are kept as published. ### Where are the camera sites? The camera location code matches the ACT traffic camera locations table in this collection, which gives each site's latitude and longitude. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/act-mobile-speed-camera-visits.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
