  • Securing your CMS accounts

    Found in News

    Later this month two-factor authentication (2FA) will be turned on across the websites run by the Digital.govt.nz team: Digital.govt.nz, Data.govt.nz and Govt.nz. We’ve decided to require 2FA following CERT NZ guidance on making sure accounts are secure.

  • Why we took down our API

    Found in Blog / Published 11 December 2014 / By Aimee Whitcroft

    Over the last month or so, the Govt.nz team have begun to engage more seriously with the API community. We’ve written blog posts, and talked at Open Data Day. We wanted (and still want!) to hear from people about what kind of information our API should carry, and how it should be structured and work to meet best practice.

    We’ve been very happy with the response. :) It’s been great to see the community step forward and offer its huge knowledge and experience.

    There’s been some comment in the la…
