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

API: Stats NZ ~ Aotearoa Data Explorer (SDMX)
Provider: Stats NZ
Endpoint: GET https://api.data.stats.govt.nz/rest
It returns JSON.

Source: Stats NZ (https://www.stats.govt.nz/tools/aotearoa-data-explorer/ade-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.
