## 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-metro-median-house-prices/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-metro-median-house-prices/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-metro-median-house-prices/rows?measure=gte.Median&measure=lt.Sales&limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-metro-median-house-prices/aggregate?group=measure&metric=avg.value&measure=gte.Median&measure=lt.Sales

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 Median house sale prices by suburb as a CSV file?

Open https://publicdata.au/d/sa-metro-median-house-prices/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/sa-metro-median-house-prices/v/2026-07-17/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 Median house sale prices by suburb in Excel?

Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/sa-metro-median-house-prices/v/2026-07-17/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 1,680 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-metro-median-house-prices/v/2026-07-17/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size.

### How often is Median house sale prices by suburb updated?

Housing and Urban Development releases it quarterly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes.

### Can I use Median house sale prices by suburb 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 Median house sale prices by suburb?

No. The publisher is Department for Housing and Urban Development, and its page is https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/metro-median-house-sales. 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 figure for one suburb of metropolitan Adelaide, with its council area. The measure column names the figure as the publisher heads it, either Sales, the number of house sales in the quarter, or Median, the median sale price in dollars, followed by the quarter, such as Sales 2Q 2026.

### Which quarters does the table cover?

The newest quarterly file, which compares one quarter with the same quarter a year earlier, 2Q 2025 and 2Q 2026 at the first version. The publisher adds a file each quarter, and each becomes a version here. The files back to 2015 stay on the portal.

### Why is the median change column missing?

The publisher's Median Change column is the percentage change between the two medians, worked out from figures already in the table, so it is left out.

### Why do some suburbs have no figure?

The publisher leaves the cells blank for a suburb with no house sales in the quarter, and a suburb with no figure in either quarter has no rows 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.xlsx`.
