Prerequisites
To access the Network find method, you need to establish an API user to access the NHVR Developer Platform. For a step by step guide see Logging into the Developer Platform.
Using the network find API from the Network Service
The network find API is exposed from the Network controller from the NHVR Portal - Network Service.
Every call to the network find API should include the following headers:
Header | Value | Note |
Content-Type | 'application/json' | All calls are made using JSON data structures |
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key | Your subscription key for the NHVR Portal API | The subscription key uniquely identifies you to the NHVR Portal API |
The network/networks endpoint uses the GET method
https://api-public.nhvr.gov.au/network/networks
Specification
The full network find API specification is available on the NHVR Developer Platform: NetworkController.find.
The return results schema is provided below for quick reference:
