API Reference
Our advanced RESTful API offers an ideal solution for seamless integration into your software ecosystem. Designed for both real-time and offline access, our API ensures flexibility and reliability. Expertly developed with the same robust queries that power our SaaS platforms, it allows you to effortlessly combine and encapsulate queries to create powerful, customised products and services. By leveraging our API, you can enhance your software’s functionality, streamline operations, and deliver superior user experiences with minimal friction.
Introduction
The Global Data API allows external programmatic access to the full functionality of the Global Data suite of validation, verification and search functions. The API accesses the same dataset and produces the same results as the api.globaldata.net.au web system.
Sandbox vs Live
The Global Data API provides two environments. Use the Sandbox API server when working with a Sandbox API key. Use the Live API server when working with a Live API key. Requests made with a key to the wrong environment will return a 401 Unauthorized error.
Real data, billable transactions. Requires a Live API key issued after onboarding.
https://gdapi.globaldata.net.au/api/v2
Restricted dataset for integration testing. Free to use with a Sandbox API key.
https://sandbox-example.globaldata.net.au
Heads up: requests made with a key to the wrong environment return a 401 Unauthorized error.
Authentication
The Global Data API uses API keys to authenticate requests. All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. Pass your key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Request Sandbox Access
API keys are provisioned for institutional partners following verification. Contact our sales team to discuss integration requirements and production credentials.
