title: DataQuoll Meta API
description: 'DataQuoll turns fragmented Australian public data into answers about locations, events and assets.
Today''s datasets: real-time emergency incidents and warnings (bushfires, floods, storms, earthquakes, rescues, and more) in one GeoJSON schema with CAP-aligned severity, urgency, and certainty fields that carry only what each agency states; disaster declarations reported by LGA as declared-area status; live river gauges with BoM flood classes; and a historical archive. DataQuoll was formerly EmergencyAPI. Standards-validated CAP output is available as an Atom feed via ?format=cap-atom and as per-incident documents via /api/v1/incidents/{id}?format=cap-au, both validated against the OASIS CAP 1.2 schema and the CAP-AU Profile v3.0. Includes real-time incidents, proximity search, and historical audit trail snapshots.
**Disclaimer:** DataQuoll provides aggregated emergency incident data for informational
purposes only. This data is sourced from
official government feeds, community-decoded SA pager feeds and an agency feed whose licence is not published (NT PFES).
It may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Do not use this API as a substitute for
official emergency warnings.'
