I'm building an app using a free Australia API (no auth needed).

API: ABS Data API ~ Australian statistics (SDMX)
Provider: Australian Bureau of Statistics
Endpoint: GET https://api.data.abs.gov.au
It returns JSON.

Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics (https://www.abs.gov.au/about/data-services/application-programming-interfaces-apis/data-api-user-guide)
Source type: Official open-data catalogue
Endpoint type: Open-data catalogue JSON
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-05
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
