CASA RPAS Digital Platform API

A partner-only API that supplies CASA advisories, notifications and geospatial map data to drone safety applications, and processes Automated Airspace Authorisations for Sydney Harbour (R405A/B) and ten trial controlled aerodromes. Endpoints are named in the public RPAS Platform Operating Rules — advisories.geojson and notifications.json under /casa/data/, plus /casa/gcd and /asa/gcd for geospatial content — and the Operating Rules state the URLs need authentication with a service account. Access requires a written application, acceptance of the RPAS Platform Terms and Conditions, a formal onboarding check-out against the RPAS Platform Test Procedure (two attempts allowed), staging then production credentials issued by CASA, and a paid Airservices Australia airspace data licence sourced independently. CASA has paused onboarding of new providers for the ten trial aerodromes pending Airservices' Flight Information Management System. Not a self-serve API.
