This option uses API technology to connect a strata management agency’s software and the Strata Hub.
This is the best option for strata management agencies with a software provider and a large number of clients to complete reporting for.
If you are a strata manager using strata management software, please send the link to this page to your software provider to access the instructions and resources below.
If the software provider hasn’t implemented the API solution, they can do this using the Strata Hub API documentation (ZIP 69.91KB) that includes multiple worksheets.
There are three API options available in the Strata Hub:
This option transfers data to the Strata Hub for the first reporting of the strata scheme. The ‘Data dictionary report scheme’ and ‘Error log report scheme’ are provided within Strata Hub API documentation.
This option transfers data to the Strata Hub for the annual reporting of strata schemes. The ‘Data dictionary annual report’ and ‘Error log annual report’ are provided within Strata Hub API documentation.
The software provided will also need to access the technical documentation at api.nsw.gov.au:
First, the software provider will need to apply for sandbox access. After they apply, the Strata Hub team will contact the software provider when a testing session is available.
Before testing starts, the Strata Hub team will contact the software provider and send them material so they can test the API solution using their software.
After testing, the Strata Hub team will send the software provider further instructions so they can move from testing to production.
Once the software is ready for strata scheme reporting, the software provider or strata manager can send this email to request the subscription app ID and credentials with the:
The Strata Hub team can then provide subscription details, which are unique for each strata manager.
If they haven’t done so, the strata manager will need to register on the Strata Hub and complete the proof of identity and licence verification process.
The strata manager uses their software system to transfer the strata scheme data to the Strata Hub through an API call.
This step allows you to check all your scheme data has been transferred correctly.
If you notice incorrect information at this stage, you have two choices:
Option 1:
Delete the Case ID by selecting the 'Actions' drop down menu on the left hand navigation.
Correct the information in your software.
Send the updated strata plan data to the Strata Hub.
Option 2:
Update the information manually in the Strata Hub. Refer to the instructions in our Strata annual reporting page.
To complete reporting and payment for each strata scheme, refer to the ‘How to report’ section of our Strata annual reporting page including:

If you are a strata manager using strata management software, please send the link to this page to your software provider to access the instructions and resources below.
This option transfers updated data for schemes already reported in the Strata Hub.
If the software provider hasn’t implemented the API solution, they can do this using the Strata Hub API documentation (ZIP 69.91KB) that includes multiple worksheets.
Adding an acknowledgement and declaration is a legal and mandatory requirement for all strata managing agents to read and accept when updating a scheme.
Your software provider must ensure the acknowledgement and declaration is included in your software.
For the exact text for this acknowledgement and declaration, please refer to cells H7 and H8 from the ‘Data dictionary update scheme’ worksheet in the Strata Hub API documentation.
Once the software is ready for strata scheme reporting, the software provider or strata manager can send this email to request the subscription app ID and credentials with the:
The Strata Hub team can then provide subscription details, which are unique for each strata manager.
If they haven’t done so, the strata manager will need to register on the Strata Hub and complete the proof of identity and licence verification process.
The strata manager uses their software system to transfer the strata scheme data to the Strata Hub through an API call.
The Strata Hub allows you to ‘Review and declare’ the data for the schemes reported in bulk. You can edit the data by either:
The data for the scheme won't be accepted, nor will a case ID be created. But the data for the other schemes will load successfully.
You will need to check the details for the scheme that has not been accepted and you can either:
The Strata Hub has been designed so that it pre-populates your ‘My profile’ details.
If you have an individual licence, the strata manager email will be pre-populated from your profile in the Strata Hub. But if you have a corporation licence then you can provide a different email and contact number.
A strata manager can update the reported information for multiple schemes using the API feature on the Strata Hub. They will need to contact their software provider to request they implement the API.
The software provider or strata manager will need to request subscription details by sending this email to request the subscription app ID and credentials with the:
The Strata Hub team will then provide subscription details, which are unique for each strata manager.
The Strata manager can then make the changes to their system and transfer the updated scheme information to the Strata Hub.
Annual reporting on the Strata Hub requires payment of a $3 per lot fee. Updating information that this outdated or incorrect in between annual reporting periods does not require payment.
The API documentation has updated for annual reporting and update scheme reporting. Please refer step 2 above and download the updated API documentation.
The API private key is a system-generated unique identifier for every strata managing agent profile. This will be used to verify credentials for an update scheme API call. If a strata managing agent has initiated an update scheme API, they will need to provide the API private key as part of the payload to ensure a successful data transfer.
Yes. It is a legal and mandatory requirement for the strata managing agent to read and accept the acknowledgment and declaration when updating a strata scheme.
For the exact text for the acknowledgement and declaration, please refer to cells H7 and H8 from the ‘Data dictionary update scheme’ worksheet in the API documentation.
