Browse

The base URL for the browse service is:

http://api.gov.au/definitions/api/browse

The domain query parameter specifies a domain to browse within.

If you don't provide a value for domain, the definitons from all domains will be browsed.

More information about domains, and the values the parameter takes is here.
