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/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/rows?issuing_agency=neq.TOTAL&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/aggregate?group=issuing_agency&metric=sum.infringements&issuing_agency=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 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 Traffic infringements and official warnings by issuing agency, Victoria in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/v/2026-04-17/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 5 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/vic-traffic-infringements-vs-official-warnings/v/2026-04-17/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### How often is Traffic infringements and official warnings by issuing agency, Victoria updated? Cameras Save Lives releases it quarterly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Traffic infringements and official warnings by issuing agency, Victoria 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 Traffic infringements and official warnings by issuing agency, Victoria? No. The publisher is Cameras Save Lives, and its page is https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/road-safety-camera-network-official-warnings-vs-fines-quarterly. 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 does each row hold? One kind of issuing agency for the quarter named on the row, such as fixed and mobile cameras, police on the spot, tolling or distracted driver and seatbelt cameras, with the infringements issued and the official warnings issued. The TOTAL row is the publisher's own. ### How do warnings relate to the fines? The publisher says an official warning is issued when an infringement is withdrawn after internal review, and a warning may not relate to infringements issued in the same period. Police on the spot figures cover speeding, red light and unregistered vehicle offences only. ### Why might tolling figures lag? Tolling infringements are counted at the date issued, which can be months after the trip, because an unpaid toll becomes an infringement only after the toll operator has tried to recover it. ### Which quarter is it? Each version is the newest quarter released, and the quarter is in each row, taken from the sheet's name. Earlier quarters back to 2019 are listed on the portal. ## 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.
