publicdataau: Australian Government Open Data from 'publicdata.au'
Search, filter, total and download the Australian government open
data republished at <https://publicdata.au/>, where every version of a
dataset is kept at a URL that never changes. Rows and totals come from the
site's query API as typed, labelled 'tibble' data frames, and whole tables
from its files in any of twelve formats. Map layers come as 'sf' objects,
and rows that carry the code of an area join to the Australian Bureau of
Statistics boundaries in one call. The 'DuckDB' file of any version can be
attached over the web and queried in place with 'DBI' or 'dplyr'.
Downloads can be kept in a cache, since a version never changes, the
changes between versions are listed row by row, and the source file,
fetch time and checksum of every version are on record. Every answer
carries the version it came from and the attribution the publisher's
licence requires, and citations come as 'BibTeX'. Any dataset the site
serves works by its slug, so a new dataset needs no new release.
