Data Central API Examples

How to use Data Central services in an automated way

Data Central provides APIs (Application Programming Interface) for our services, allowing you to make queries, request data, and to connect the services together in a repeatable and reproducible workflow. Many of our APIs can be used via the Virtual Observatory, but some are custom services with their own API.

For services around the surveys and data releases hosted at Data Central, you can browse those APIs at https://datacentral.org.au/api/, which provides REST APIs, accessible via any programming language/environment. For Python users, see our example notebooks, which can be run on the mybinder service via this link.
