NZ Charities Register Open Data

NZ Charities Register Open Data

New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs — Charities Services publishes the statutory Charities Register as a keyless OData API (odata.charities.govt.nz), covering organisations, their officers and annual returns. The open-data page says: "The service is free to access and does not require registration."

Coverage

New Zealand charities register data: organisations, officers (as published by the regulator), annual returns, sectors and areas of operation, confirmed live today via the Organisations endpoint. This is a public statutory register, distinct from the Australian (ACNC) and England and Wales charity registers; Signal Lab links only and does not mirror it. History start and update frequency: Not stated.

Verdict

New Zealand's statutory charities register — organisations, officers (as published by the regulator), annual returns, sectors and areas of operation — from DIA Charities Services, via a keyless OData API (confirmed live today via the Organisations endpoint). The open-data page says: "The service is free to access and does not require registration." Query results are capped by default, not rate-limited: "By default, the results of any query have been restricted to 1000 records. This is to prevent an open query returning a large volume of results and placing an unnecessary load on both the systems of both Charities Services and the origin of the query. This default can be overridden by using the following in the query string: $returnall=true" Licensed Custom: the page says "Use of this data is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 New Zealand License."; Signal Lab records this as Custom because CC-BY-3.0-NZ is not in its licence vocabulary. A public statutory register that includes officer names as published by the regulator, distinct from the live acnc-charity-register-australia and charity-commission-england-wales-register-extract entries for other jurisdictions. Rate limits: Not stated (the 1000-record figure above is a per-query result cap, not a rate limit). Signal Lab links only.
