Versions

publicdata.au keeps a new version each time the publisher changes the source file, and lists them all at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-public-libraries-directory/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as v<date>, so load_dataset("National-Digital/qld-public-libraries-directory", revision="v2026-07-21") always returns these rows.

Query it without downloading

The publicdata.au query API filters and totals the newest version of this dataset and needs no key:
