Frequently asked questions
Yes, 5,000 requests a month, forever, with no card required. It reads all 44 feeds, not a cut-down subset. The only condition is that you attribute the source agencies.
No. Every plan reads every feed, and live incidents, river gauges and industry calendars are on every plan including free. Paid tiers buy request volume, history lookback and export formats. Two lookup products are priced separately: hazard history at 100 free lookups a month then blocks of 1,000, and the declarations API, which comes with the Organisation licence.
Requests stop. You get a 429 telling you the limit you hit, with standard RateLimit and Retry-After headers so your client can back off cleanly. Nothing is queued and nothing is billed as overage, so there is no surprise invoice. Your quota resets at the start of each month, or you can upgrade to keep going straight away.
Annual plans cost nine months of the monthly price, so you save 25% and get twelve months. Starter is A$81 a year against A$9 a month, and the same ratio holds up the ladder.
Yes, at any time. Plans are month to month unless you choose annual billing, and moving up or down takes effect on your next invoice.
GeoJSON and JSON on every plan, including the free tier. CSV and CAP-AU Atom export unlock at Developer. The CAP Atom feed validates against the CAP-AU Profile v3.0.
