Get projects

The Qld Wildlife API is being replaced

Please note that the Qld Wildlife API will soon be replaced with a new API. The new API is currently planned to be released in May 2025. Please come back to this webpage for updates. If you have any questions or feedback, please email wildnet@des.qld.gov.au

Lists the project names (and associated ids) from the Department of Environment and Science's WildNet database that have data approved for release.

WetlandMaps provides a map interface to display a project data derived using the Get sites, Get surveys and Get surveys by species functions with other spatial layers (such as protected areas and wetland mapping).

Optional Variables
bbox: A bounding box that defines a geographical area. Specified as top left, bottom right (e.g. latitude,longitude,latitude, longitude) in decimal degrees.
circle: A circle (buffered point) that defines a geographical area. Specified as the circle centre coordinates (in decimal degrees), radius (in metres) (e.g. latitude,longitude,distance).
f: The format of the response. There are 4 possible options; json, xml, kml and csv. Json is the default if 'f' is not set. If the output is spatial, GeoJson will be return for 'f=json' and KML will be returned for 'f=xml' or 'f=kml'.
org: Organisation ID - An ID that is associated with an organisation. Use Get organisations to access organisation IDs.

Output Field Descriptions:
ProjectID: The unique identifier for the project within the WildNet database.
ProjectName: The name of the project.
OrganisationID: The unique identifier for the organisation within the WildNet database.
OrganisationName: The name of the organisation associated with the project.
OrganisationAcronym: The acronym for the organisation associated with the project.
