Tools 8 found in our last check

• search_tables

  Find ABS statistical tables (dataflows) by topic words, geography level or frequency. Matches table names, topics and dimension names, and also option labels inside dimensions — a search for 'rent' finds CPI through its INDEX option 'Rents' and reports the match in matchedOption…

• describe_table

  A table's dimensions in key order, its coverage dates, and its options. Dimensions with up to 64 options list them inline with labels; larger ones (geography, occupations) say how many and are searchable with search_options.

• search_options

  Find option codes by label text within one dimension of one table — e.g. a suburb name in a geography dimension. Returns codes to use in get_data's select.

• get_data

  Fetch observations. `select` maps dimension ids to option codes or labels (several allowed); omitted dimensions match everything. The selection is verified live against ABS before fetching, so a call that succeeds always returns real data. Returns up to maxRows observations (def…

• search

  Run JavaScript against the whole catalogue document — every table, its dimensions, coverage and small-dimension options — in an isolated sandbox with no network. Use it to answer questions the fixed verbs make awkward: 'which tables have both an SA2 geography and a quarterly fre…

• execute

  Run JavaScript in an isolated sandbox whose only capability is `abs`, a client with the same four verbs as this server (searchTables, describeTable, searchOptions, getData) and the same guarantees: every selection is verified against ABS before fetching. Use it for multi-series…

• feedback_form

  Open a feedback form for the person, prefilled with your draft, so they can report a problem or suggest an improvement to this ABS connector — or flag something wrong in ABS's own data. Use it whenever the person wants to give feedback, or agrees when you offer after something w…

• submit_feedback

  Send feedback about this ABS connector (or a report about ABS's own data) to its maintainers. Only call this after the person has seen the exact text and said to send it — prefer feedback_form, which lets them edit it first. Use about='abs' for wrong figures or broken behaviour…
