## 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-mobile-camera-location-codes/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/aggregate.

- Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/rows?limit=5
- Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/aggregate?group=suburb&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.

## Questions

### How do I download Mobile safety camera location codes as a CSV file?

Open https://publicdata.au/d/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/v/2025-09-15/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 Mobile safety camera location codes in Excel?

Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/sa-mobile-camera-location-codes/v/2025-09-15/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 5,505 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-mobile-camera-location-codes/v/2025-09-15/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size.

### How often is Mobile safety camera location codes updated?

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

### Can I use Mobile safety camera location codes 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 Mobile safety camera location codes?

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.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared.

### What is in each row?

One location code a mobile safety camera may report from, with the street and suburb it names. The code is the one in the Location Code column of the camera offence and camera detection tables.

### Does a code mean a camera was there?

No. The list names places a mobile camera can be set up. Where cameras were used is in the offence and detection tables.

## 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`.
