6 tools

• 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…

• describe_table

  A table's dimensions in key order, its coverage dates, and its observed 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…

  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…
