Landgate

Landgate is the Western Australian Land Information Authority — the WA government agency that maintains the state land titles register, values every rateable property in Western Australia, and curates the state's foundational location data (cadastre, tenure, property addresses, sales evidence, imagery, elevation, geographic names). In the Australian real estate value chain Landgate sits underneath the listing portals (REA Group's realestate.com.au and Domain) and underneath PEXA's electronic conveyancing rail as the authoritative source of the public land record for WA; since 2019 the automated land titling and registry operations have been operated under a commercial services arrangement while Landgate retains the Registrar of Titles function and the data custodianship. Its API posture is genuinely split and should not be overstated — a real, anonymously callable public surface exists (the SLIP Shared Location Information Platform ArcGIS REST directory plus OGC WMS/WFS services, and the Data WA CKAN Action API that Landgate operates for the whole WA public sector), while the richer registry and subscription data sits behind SLIP subscription, transaction, publication, broker, distributor and value-added-reseller licences that must be signed and, for bulk downloads, behind a MyLandgate account login. There is no developer portal, no published OpenAPI, no API key self-service, and no RESO involvement of any kind — RESO is a North American MLS standard and is absent from this Australian government registry.

Landgate publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: SLIP Public Services (ArcGIS REST), SLIP Public OGC Web Services (WMS / WFS), and Data WA CKAN Action API. Tagged areas include Real Estate, Australia, Land Registry, Title, and Valuation.

Landgate’s developer surface includes documentation, pricing, support, developer portal, authentication, changelog, engineering blog, and 22 more developer resources.

    Land_Monitor and Utilities), covering cadastre, administrative and LGA boundaries, buildings and structures, bushfire
    prone areas, climate, disaster, transport and marine layers. A live layer query (SLIP_Public_Services/Boundaries/MapServer/14/query)
    returned real LGA boundary features without any credential.

  description: Landgate leads implementation of the WA Whole of Government Open Data Policy and operates data.wa.gov.au, whose
    catalogue runs CKAN with the standard /api/3/action surface exposed anonymously. Confirmed 2026-07-26 — status_show, package_search,

    395 are published by the Landgate organization. A DCAT JSON-LD catalog is served at /catalog.jsonld. Note honestly that
    the API is open but most Landgate datasets in it carry a custom Landgate licence rather than an open licence (371 of 395
    are license_id custom_other; only 2 are public domain and 5 are CC non-commercial).

    authorization-server contract — but it is the sign-on for MyLandgate, Land Enquiry Services and SLIP subscriber accounts,
    not a public developer API. There is no public client registration endpoint, no published scope catalogue beyond the standard
    openid/profile/email/address/phone plus an ATO scope, and no developer documentation. Listed here because the artifact
    is genuine, not because it is self-serve.
