OpenRegistry launches live ABR data access tool for investigators

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenRegistry has launched a new tool that provides direct access to Australia's live Australian Business Register (ABR) data via MCP. This tool aims to assist investigators and journalists by offering real-time information on entities, including their GST status and registration dates, which can be crucial for tracking business changes and verifying information. Unlike cached data, OpenRegistry's MCP queries retrieve live responses, enabling better reproducibility for fact-checking and investigations, though it does not bypass ASIC paywalls for more detailed corporate information.
