Global Data API v2
API reference
Everything you can call on the Global Data API, grouped by product. Pick an endpoint to see what to send, what comes back, and a worked JSON example of each.
You'll need an API key, sent as a bearer token on every request. New to the API? Start with the Getting started guide.

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 will produce the same results as the api.globaldata.net.au web system.
Sandbox vs Live
The GlobalData API provides two environments: Sandbox and Live.
- 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.
