simple-abns

simple-abns parses the ABR's Australian Business Number dataset and converts it to a simpler JSON format.

You can download a copy of the converted dataset. Note that this is not updated automatically - please open an issue if it could use a refresh.

You can also find machine-readable names for the entity types the ABR uses in ./entity_types.json.

If you'd like to generate the dataset yourself, you'll need to download the raw XML data and place all 20 chunks in ./raw. simple-abns will parse them and print each ABN record as a seperate line. You can see progress and compress the output using:

cargo run --release | pv -ls 18M | zstd -T0 -9 > simple-abns.jsonl.zst
