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/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode/rows?postcode=neq.Total&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode/aggregate?group=sex&metric=sum.licences&postcode=neq.Total 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.

The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Driver's licences by postcode, age and sex? No. The publisher is Department for Infrastructure and Transport, and its page is https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/drivers-licences-by-postcode-age-and-sex. 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. ### What is in each row? The number of current driver's licences of all kinds, full and provisional, for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles, held by people of one age and sex in one postcode at the end of the quarter. ### What are the Total and TRLB05 rows? The publisher ends the table with a Total row and a footer row naming the report and page. Both are kept as published. The footer's count reads DPTI and is a null here. ### Which date does the table cover? The newest quarter, the end of June 2026 at the first version. The publisher adds a file each quarter, and each 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.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/sa-drivers-licences-by-postcode.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
