Licensing and terms

Addresses, coordinates and mesh blocks come from the Geocoded National Address File, published by Geoscape Australia and distributed through data.gov.au under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. We load each quarterly release and return its identifiers unchanged.

Incorporates or developed using G-NAF © Geoscape Australia licensed by the Commonwealth of Australia under the Open Geo-coded National Address File (G-NAF) End User Licence Agreement.

The licence is attribution, so you may use the data commercially, store it, and build on it. What it asks in return is credit. If you display addresses that came from here, say where they came from: a line in a footer or an about page naming G-NAF and Geoscape Australia satisfies it.

You do not need to credit us. The obligation belongs to the data, not to the service.

The API is offered without warranty. G-NAF is the national address register and is very good, but no address dataset is complete or current everywhere at once, and you should not treat a resolved address as proof that a place exists or that somebody lives there.

Keys are yours to look after. A key found in a public repository or a shipped application may be revoked without notice, because the alternative is somebody else spending your quota.

Plans are billed monthly or yearly through Stripe and cancellable at any time. The period you have paid for runs to its end. Nothing is billed past a plan's allowance: once its units are spent, requests are refused with a 402 until the period resets or you move to a bigger plan, and refused requests cost nothing.

We may suspend an account that is degrading the service for other customers, and will try to reach you first. There is no daily limit hidden behind that sentence: the limits are the ones published on the pricing page and returned in the headers of every response.

What we keep about you and the addresses you look up, who else sees it, and how to delete your account are in the privacy policy.
