Extract of data from OIA Tracking System
Shane Gibson made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
The request was partially successful.
From: Shane Gibson
Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
Please provide an extract of data from the system you currently use to track information requests submitted under the Official Information Act 1982.
The extract should be in a machine readable form. This means either via a publicly accessible API or file in csv or JSON format.
The extract should have the following details in a single row for each request that was submitted:
- The title of the request.
- The date your organisation received the request
- The date of the final response from your organisation to that request, or the date you closed the request
To reduce the effort required by your organisation I am requesting records for the date range that the data is available in your OIA tracking system. For example if your OIA tracking system only holds two years of records then I am requesting data for those two years.
Yours faithfully,
Shane Gibson

Dear ESD,
Thank you for seeking clarification.
The Title or Subject of the request is an important piece of the information I require as part of the research I am undertaking.
I would prefer to have a subset of this information (for example the last 12 months of requests) with the subject line included (with PII data redacted of course), rather than a larger volume (for example 5 years) of data without the subject line being included.
Yours sincerely,
Shane Gibson
