## 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-camera-detections-not-accepted/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-camera-detections-not-accepted/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-camera-detections-not-accepted/rows?limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-camera-detections-not-accepted/aggregate?group=not_accept_description&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/<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.

### How often is Safety camera detections not issued as offences updated?

SAPOL releases it monthly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes.

### Can I use Safety camera detections not issued as offences 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 Safety camera detections not issued as offences?

No. The publisher is South Australia Police, and its page is https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/expiation-notice-system-data. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.zip with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared.

### What is in each row?

One camera detection that did not result in an offence being issued, with the date and time, the publisher's code and reason, the camera's location code and description, the vehicle, its speed and the limit, and the camera category.

### What are the reasons?

The publisher's own codes, such as an emergency vehicle within its tolerance or a plate that is not on file. Each code comes with its description.

### Which period does the table cover?

The financial year of the newest report, 2026-27 at the first version, which the publisher replaces as the year goes on. Each new file becomes a version here.

## 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.zip`.
