Goal

Query public Department of Internal Affairs Class 4 gambling grants data, the Granted.govt.nz source dataset, and related data.govt.nz discovery metadata through a deterministic no-login CLI.

Use this when

  • A user asks about NZ Class 4 grants, pokie grants, gaming-machine profit grants, or Granted.govt.nz data
  • A workflow needs grant rows filtered by year, status, society/funder, recipient, category, region, or territorial local authority
  • A user wants top funders, recipients, or grant categories from the Class 4 grants CSV
  • A task needs source links for the Class 4 grants dataset, venue/gaming-machine quarterly lists, or DIA society website list

Do not use this for

  • Applying for a grant, logging into society portals, submitting forms, or changing any funding record
  • Real-time venue/gaming-machine counts beyond the public quarterly file links
  • Legal or regulatory advice about gambling compliance
  • Bulk mirroring the full data catalogue beyond the task at hand
