For API users: How to access RLA data

The RLA maintains a valuable dataset on Australian R&D expertise and capability. The RLA portal demonstrates one way this dataset can be utilised, but it can also serve other purposes.

Currently, we provide access to the RLA API for those who wish to retrieve and reuse the RLA dataset or a subset of it. In future, we may offer the dataset as a bulk download.

To use the RLA API, authentication is required. Follow these steps to gain access:
