Government — entry 085 of 90
Open Government, West Australia
Data.wa.gov.au is Western Australia's open-data hub, rebuilt on Drupal as a discovery front-end; the dataset catalogue and its CKAN REST API now live on a separate subdomain, `catalogue.data.wa.gov.au`, whose `/api/3/action/` endpoints answer keyless GETs with full dataset JSON and a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header (the old Socrata `/api/catalog/v1` path the stored entry implied now 500s). It indexes WA public-sector datasets heavy on geoscience and mining alongside environment and planning data.
