PrivAU API

Unfortunately, I cannot make the priv.au API public as bots would immediately burn through the IP pool, so I hand out keys manually.

With a key, you can request the JSON / CSV / RSS formats from /search.

You have three choices for auth depending on whatever is easiest for you:

curl -u ":KEY" 'https://priv.au/search?q=abc&format=json'

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer KEY" 'https://priv.au/search?q=abc&format=json'

curl -H "X-API-Key: KEY" 'https://priv.au/search?q=abc&format=json'

You will receive these headers to know how much of your limit remains:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 200
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 199

If you reach the cap, you will get a 429 with a Retry-After header.

I hand out keys strictly only for academic/personal use. If this sounds like you, please contact me with a description of your use case and an approximate number of searches you expect to do per day.
