APIs for Online Services

The Department uses APIs to facilitate the flow of data between the NSW Planning Portal and the IT systems of its stakeholders.


APIs, or application programming interfaces, are vital for the flow of data between the NSW Planning Portal and external IT systems, such as council and certifier IT systems.


APIs require a unique subscription key to be accessed. These unique keys enable users to access the functions of APIs for each service. To request a subscription key, please email [email protected], making sure you include your organisation’s name and contact person’s details.
