Story-ready Australian data for newsrooms

Free tier fit

Newsroom deadlines do not wait for the ABS SDMX wizard. We serve the headline numbers as JSON, attach the agency URL and release date, and stay free up to 500 calls a month.

The friction today

  • .Reaching the same number from a PDF takes 20 minutes per story.
  • .Most editors will not let you cite a vendor. They want the agency name.
  • .Chart tools need clean rows, not pivoted workbooks.
