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/qld-heritage-register/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-heritage-register/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-heritage-register/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-heritage-register/aggregate?group=lga&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 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/qld-heritage-register/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/qld-heritage-register/v/2022-06-02/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 Queensland Heritage Register places in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-heritage-register/v/2022-06-02/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 1,797 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-heritage-register/v/2022-06-02/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does Queensland Heritage Register places cover? The current version covers 1993 to 2021. Each release from DETSI becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Queensland Heritage Register places updated? DETSI releases it irregularly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Queensland Heritage Register places 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 Queensland Heritage Register places? No. The publisher is Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/the-queensland-heritage-register. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xml with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one lga? Every version has one JSON file per value of lga, 61 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-heritage-register/v/2022-06-02/by/lga/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-heritage-register/v/2022-06-02/by/lga/brisbane-city-council.json holds the 543 rows where lga is BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL. ### What is in each row? One place entered in the Queensland Heritage Register, with its place reference, name and alternative names, street address, suburb, council, the date it was entered in the register, its description and history, and the statement for each heritage criterion it meets. ### Why do some columns contain HTML tags? The department exports the description, history and criteria as HTML paragraphs. They are kept as published. ### Which criteria does a place meet? The criteria met column names each criterion, such as Criterion A, and the significance column holds the register's statement for each, in the same order and joined with a vertical bar. ### Are there coordinates or boundaries? No. The export gives the street address, suburb and council. The department publishes heritage boundaries separately as a spatial layer. ## 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.xml`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/qld-heritage-register.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-heritage-register.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
