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-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/aggregate?group=financial_year&metric=avg.cleveland_ydc 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.

CC BY 3.0 AU 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 Young people in youth detention each day by detention centre? No. The publisher is Department of Youth Justice and Victim Support, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/youth-justice-young-offenders-in-youth-detention. 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. ### How do I get only the rows for one financial year? Every version has one JSON file per value of financial_year, 5 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/v/2024-08-22/by/financial_year/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre/v/2024-08-22/by/financial_year/2011-2012.json holds the 366 rows where financial_year is 2011-2012. ### What is in each row? Each row is one day from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2016, with the number of young people in youth detention that day split by detention centre, and the total. ### Who is counted? Young people in youth detention who were remanded in custody or serving a sentenced detention order. Young people held on pre-court custody are not counted. ### Is there data after June 2016? The publisher has not extended these tables past 30 June 2016. ## 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-youth-detention-daily-by-centre.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-youth-detention-daily-by-centre.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
