## data.qld.gov.au (Queensland Open Data Portal)

- `storage/data-qld-gov-au` | fails-identity | evidence reported | binding none | category municipal-ckan-portal
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://www.data.qld.gov.au/
- free tier: 188,887 datasets. No published per-user or per-file quota. Resources split between portal-hosted /download/ paths and agency app endpoints (apps.des.qld.gov.au). | unit: mixed | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: unmetered public GET. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: email
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - write-gated: invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal | Queensland Go [1]
- limits note: The most open registration form found in the whole survey — /user/register accepts only Username, Displayed name, Email, Password, with no domain or invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal | Queensland Government'. But a self-registered account still lands with no organisation, and publishing is governed by the Queensland Government data-publishing standards for agencies. Unauthenticated organization_create returned an empty body (not a clean denial), so treat the write path as unproven rather than open.
- interface detail: CKAN 2.x action API (200 OK).
- tooling: curl + CKAN key.
- composes with: n/a.
- reliability: large, well-maintained state portal; the account is a 'request data / follow datasets' account, not a publisher account.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: 188,887 datasets. No published per-user or per-file quota. Resources split between portal-hosted /download/ paths and agency app endpoints (apps.des.qld.gov.au).

  - [4] 2026-10-21: POST unauth — empty response body, so no positive signal of an open write path
