Introduction

💧 The Water Restrictions API provides up-to-date information on water restrictions across New Zealand.

Its goal is to make this data more accessible to everyone and offer a platform for developers to integrate it into their own apps.

With easier access, households can stay better informed about local water restrictions and adjust their water use accordingly — whether that means using less water day to day or having home automations to respond to changing restrictions.

Getting started

To get started with the API, see the API Reference. This is a simple REST API that can be queried using standard HTTP requests, with responses returned in JSON format.

Supporting the project and getting in touch

👋 Hi, I'm Joe! This API is a hobby project I work on in my spare time. You can read more about me and why I created it here.

If you'd be willing to try out the API and provide feedback or help keep restriction data up to date, take a look at how you can help.

For anything else, see how to get in touch.
