Free tier	188,887 datasets. No published per-user or per-file quota. Resources split between portal-hosted /download/ paths and agency app endpoints (apps.des.qld.gov.au). unit mixed; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	unmetered public GET.
Identity	email email
Limits	write-gated invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal \| Queensland Go source The most open registration form found in the whole survey — /user/register accepts only Username, Displayed name, Email, Password, with no domain or invite restriction, and the page title is 'Register - Open Data Portal \| Queensland Government'. But a self-registered account still lands with no organisation, and publishing is governed by the Queensland Government data-publishing standards for agencies. Unauthenticated organization_create returned an empty body (not a clean denial), so treat the write path as unproven rather than open.
Binding	none the quota is real and unreachable: identity is the binding constraint, and it is not one of the six limits kinds
Interface	unknown CKAN 2.x action API (200 OK).
Tooling	curl + CKAN key.
Composes with	n/a.
Reliability	large, well-maintained state portal; the account is a 'request data / follow datasets' account, not a publisher account.
Notes	188,887 datasets. No published per-user or per-file quota. Resources split between portal-hosted /download/ paths and agency app endpoints (apps.des.qld.gov.au).
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
Checked	2026-10-21 (inherited); stale on 2026-11-04
