Free public API

Every NZ school has a JSON and a Markdown endpoint with the full source-linked record. Built for AI search engines, researchers, journalists and parents who want machine-readable data.

Endpoints

Full JSON record: identity, ERO trajectory, audited financials, leadership, statutory-manager status, international programme, tags, feeder relationships. Every fact carries source_url and source_doc_date.

Example: /api/school/auckland-grammar-school/facts.json

GET /api/school/{slug}/markdown.md

Same record, rendered as LLM-friendly Markdown. Includes citation links inline.

Example: /api/school/auckland-grammar-school/markdown.md

GET /llms.txt
