Open Government, Australia — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Open Government, Australia free to use?

Open Government, Australia is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.

Can I call Open Government, Australia from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Open Government, Australia did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.
