Dated versions keep their content. ## 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/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/aggregate?group=address_2&metric=count 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 that `like` and `ilike` ignore case in the ASCII letters A to Z. 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. When absent, rows come in the order of the file they are read from. For the newest versions that is the version's own data.parquet, which keeps the publisher's order unless the dataset sorted it. Any other version is read from the Parquet file the answer names in `file`, and when that file is sorted the answer names its sort in `order`, which ties follow too. - `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 version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer from that version alone. Every version with a table can be queried, and `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists them. A query on a version the database does not hold is read from its Parquet file, and one that would read too much of it is refused with DuckDB SQL that answers it from the file. 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/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/v/2024-08-13/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, GeoJSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open All abilities playgrounds in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/v/2024-08-13/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 17 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/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds/v/2024-08-13/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### How often is All abilities playgrounds updated? DFSDSCS releases it irregularly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use All abilities playgrounds 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 All abilities playgrounds? No. The publisher is Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/all-abilities-playgrounds. National Digital converted the publisher's file to other formats. It renamed and typed the columns and kept only those the schema lists. National Digital made these changes, and the publisher is not responsible for them. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What coordinate system does All abilities playgrounds use? The publisher names no datum. The coordinates are decimal degrees, read as WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and published as given. The GeoJSON file uses the same coordinates, which is what GeoJSON expects. ### What is in each row? Each row is one all abilities playground on the Queensland Government's list. It gives the name, address, the play equipment and facilities, a web link, image names and descriptions, the council to contact, and the coordinates. ### Is this every accessible playground in Queensland? No. It lists the 17 playgrounds on the publisher's all abilities playgrounds list. Councils run many other accessible playgrounds that are not in this file. ## 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/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-all-abilities-playgrounds.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
