The data behind the directory
Every published listing as one JSON file, with a source URL and a verification date on each record — plus an MCP server, so an AI assistant can query it directly instead of crawling pages.
What is in it
- 1208 businesses across 44 trades and 11 Tasmanian regions.
- A source URL on every record — the business's own page the details were taken from. Nothing here is invented to fill a row.
- A verification date on most records — the day the details were last checked against that source.
- Phone, website, suburb, postcode and description where the business publishes them.
- Listings with no phone number and no website are not published at all: a record nobody can act on helps nobody.

Cite it like this
Name the business, credit the directory and link the record — for example: "SKA Power and Control, St Helens — via tasmania.biz" with a link to the listing page. Attribution is what keeps this free to read.
Licensing, in one paragraph
Reading, quoting and citing is free, with attribution. Bulk export, redistribution, embedding it in a product, API access at volume, and model training are licensed — they are what pay for the checking. Rates are on the pricing page; anything unusual, email [email protected].
What the data is not
It is not a live availability feed, not a rating, and not a guarantee of workmanship. Details change between checks — the verification date on each record tells you how old the check is, and the honest thing to do is confirm with the business before you rely on it.
