The endpoint resolves the property. The Australia graph explains what it means.
PropData Australia is not a national parcel table with state labels painted on top. G-NAF provides the national address spine; cadastral identity is state or territory native; geometry and legal identifiers follow those source systems; and every promoted layer keeps its own coverage and provenance. The application sees one Australia scope while the data contract remains honest about where the underlying truth came from.
Start from the strongest identifier your product actually has.
Determine which state or territory property system governs the resolved property.
Attach promoted lot, parcel or block identity and source geometry where certified.
Retain PFI/UFI, PID, volume/folio, block/section/division and other source meaning.
Keep match, layer availability, source dataset and source revision independently visible.
Use the same source-aware country model through the delivery channel your product needs.
Promote and refresh source layers behind the contract rather than shipping a one-off file.
Certified state depth can grow without forcing a new country integration.
Think in property domains, not endpoint count.
A compact route surface can still unlock a deep country product. The Australia contract is the operating layer around the property: national address identity, jurisdiction routing, native cadastre, source geometry, coordinate containment, coverage and provenance. Exact response fields remain governed by the promoted route, jurisdiction and account entitlement.

Three common ways into the Australia graph.
/v1/property?country=AU&address=YOUR_AUSTRALIAN_ADDRESSResolve an Australian address through the national identity layer and attach promoted jurisdiction context.
/v1/property/by-location?country=AU&lat=...&lng=...Resolve a WGS84 coordinate into containing property context where promoted geometry supports it.
/v1/parcel-geometry?country=AU&parcel=...Retrieve promoted parcel / lot / block geometry using a supported source-native property identifier.
curl --get \ "https://propdata-api-worker.sales-fd3.workers.dev/v1/property" \ --data-urlencode "country=AU" \ --data-urlencode "address=YOUR_AUSTRALIAN_ADDRESS" \ -H "x-api-key: $PROPDATA_API_KEY"
const url = new URL(
"https://propdata-api-worker.sales-fd3.workers.dev/v1/property"
);
url.searchParams.set("country", "AU");
url.searchParams.set("address", inputAddress);
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.PROPDATA_API_KEY }
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`PropData ${response.status}`);
}
const result = await response.json();REST keys stay on the server. MCP uses OAuth.
Direct REST requests use the x-api-key header. Store production keys in trusted server, worker or edge secrets. Do not put a PropData key in URLs, browser bundles, screenshots, repositories, analytics or logs.

The routes are the doorway into the Australia contract.
Australia uses the shared PropData production API surface. The existence of a global route does not imply the corresponding enrichment is enabled in every Australian jurisdiction. Use the promoted route contract and returned coverage semantics as the authority.
/v1/propertyPrimary Australia property resolver for address or supported source-native identity inputs.
/v1/property/by-locationWGS84 coordinate → property context with explicit spatial match semantics where AU geometry coverage is promoted.
/v1/parcel-geometryPromoted parcel / lot / block geometry using a supported cadastral identifier.
/v1/auth/usageAuthoritative account usage and current limits for quota-aware applications.
/v1/healthPublic production service health for operational checks.
/v1/statsPublic platform proof and service statistics. Do not treat global stats as property-level AU coverage.
/v1/changelogProduction API and data-platform changes for integration teams.
PropData MCPCustomer-safe AI-native access through the separate OAuth-protected MCP contract where supported.
National address identity first. Jurisdiction-native cadastral identity second.
G-NAF provides the national address spine. Once the property can be routed into a certified jurisdiction layer, PropData preserves the source-native cadastral model rather than forcing it into a U.S.-style parcel schema.
| Layer | Scope | What PropData preserves | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| G-NAF | National | Native address identity, geocodes, partition/jurisdiction context | One country-wide identity spine before deeper property enrichment. |
| QSCF | Queensland | Queensland lot identity and polygon geometry | State-native cadastral truth for 2,156,480 live lot parcels. |
| Vicmap | Victoria | PFI parcel identity and UFI ingestion / source semantics | Preserves Victorian property identifiers instead of flattening them away. |
| LIST | Tasmania | PID, volume, folio, UFI and cadastral geometry context | Retains the title/cadastral semantics published by Tasmania. |
| ACTGOV BLOCK | ACT | Block, section, division, district and lifecycle context | Legal-block identity remains structurally correct for the ACT. |
Geometry is a promoted source layer, not a universal assumption.
Australian property geometry follows jurisdiction source systems. Where promoted, the geometry route and coordinate resolver let applications connect point-based workflows to certified parcel, lot or block context. Where geometry is not promoted, PropData does not manufacture a boundary from another layer.
source geometryUse the published parcel / lot / block polygon where that jurisdiction has passed promotion gates.
coordinate containmentResolve WGS84 latitude/longitude into containing property context where coverage supports it.
match semanticsRead exact-source, spatial or other returned match signals independently from HTTP success.
coverage stateDistinguish absent geometry from a parcel that truly has no returned polygon.
Build around explicit identity, coverage and provenance.
Australian integrations should not assume every jurisdiction emits the same source fields. Treat the returned envelope as authoritative and model optional jurisdiction-specific enrichment separately from successful base identity.

Normalization should not erase meaning.
The point of a country abstraction is not to destroy the underlying source model. PropData provides stable access while still preserving the identifiers, geographic/legal structures and revision context needed by serious downstream systems.
| Jurisdiction | Source-native semantics retained | Application value |
|---|---|---|
| National G-NAF | Native address PID, geocode and source partition context | Stable country-wide address identity and geospatial entry point. |
| Queensland | QSCF lot / parcel identity + polygon geometry | Keep QLD-native cadastral context visible. |
| Victoria | PFI + UFI source semantics | Preserve deterministic source identity and ingestion lineage. |
| Tasmania | PID + volume + folio + UFI | Maintain cadastral/title context published by LIST. |
| ACT | block + section + division + district + lifecycle | Represent ACT legal blocks without flattening them into another state's parcel vocabulary. |
Match, coverage and provenance are separate signals.
match_levelHow the input resolved: address, coordinate, source-native identity or another explicit method returned by the route.
coverage_statusWhether the requested AU source or enrichment layer is available for the resolved property.
jurisdictionThe state or territory property system governing the deeper source-native contract.
source / provenanceWhere the fact originated and which dataset or revision supports it.
null / unavailableMissing source truth remains missing. Do not convert absence into an equivalent or favourable claim.
identity vs enrichmentA valid national address/property identity can survive even when optional state-native cadastral depth is unavailable.
Coverage states
| State | Meaning | Application behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| baseline_complete | Certified source baseline reconciled to the production checkpoint. | Safe to treat the promoted layer as production coverage for its stated scope. |
| expanding | A source or jurisdiction layer is actively being built or refreshed. | Do not assume universal property-level availability. |
| partial | Base identity is valid but one or more requested layers are absent. | Preserve the valid base result and handle enrichment independently. |
| unavailable | No verified source truth exists for the requested layer or input. | Keep the result unknown; do not synthesize an equivalent field. |
Authoritative sources in. Governed property infrastructure out.
PropData operates the ingestion, normalization, jurisdiction routing, canonical identity, geometry processing, coverage semantics, source revision handling, quality gates and production delivery above the Australian source systems. The country contract is designed to expose what has actually been certified — not what we hope to add later.
The Australia graph is not limited to one-request-at-a-time REST.
The same governed country model can be packaged around the workflow the customer actually needs. Authentication and entitlement remain channel-specific.
Country-scoped property resolution through the shared PropData edge.
AI-client workflows through the customer-safe OAuth-protected PropData MCP flow.
High-volume delivery where API-per-request is not the right operating model.
Embed PropData-backed Australian property intelligence into another product experience.
Workflow-specific response contracts for enterprise applications.
Commercial SLA, private delivery and integration support.
Treat the AU graph as a product capability instead of a separate data project.
Reuse the broader platform relationship across Australia and other supported markets.
