## 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/sa-baby-names-girls/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-baby-names-girls/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-baby-names-girls/rows?limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-baby-names-girls/aggregate?group=first_name&metric=sum.babies

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/<date>/` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets/<slug>/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.

## Questions

### How do I download Top 100 baby names for girls as a CSV file?

Open https://publicdata.au/d/sa-baby-names-girls/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/sa-baby-names-girls/v/2026-01-02/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 Top 100 baby names for girls in Excel?

Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/sa-baby-names-girls/v/2026-01-02/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 100 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/sa-baby-names-girls/v/2026-01-02/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size.

### How often is Top 100 baby names for girls updated?

Attorney-General's releases it yearly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes.

### Can I use Top 100 baby names for girls 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 Top 100 baby names for girls?

No. The publisher is Attorney-General's Department, and its page is https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/popular-baby-names. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared.

### What is in each row?

One name in the year's list of the 100 names given most often to girls registered in South Australia, with its position in the list and the number of babies registered with it.

### Which year does the list cover?

The newest list the publisher has released, which is the calendar year named in the resource on the portal, Top 100 Baby Names 2025 at the first version. The file holds no year column, so each year's list is a version here, dated by the day the publisher released it.

### Why can a list run past 100 names?

Names with the same count share a position, so a tie at the bottom of the list can carry it past 100 rows. The rows are kept as published.

## 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.xlsx`.
