Open data
Use our price data — free, with attribution
Every price on WeldBase is an observed price: pulled from a live Australian retail listing, stamped with an observation date and a source. That makes it citable — in articles, videos, forum answers and research. Here's every way to take the data with you.
1. The JSON feed (recommended)
Every price category is a live JSON endpoint — no scraping, always current, includes the observation date and source for each model:
| Category | Models | JSON endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| MIG welder | 17 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=mig-welders |
| TIG welder | 7 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=tig-welders |
| Stick welder | 8 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=stick-welders |
| Multi-process welder | 27 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=multi-process-welders |
| Handheld laser welder | 13 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=handheld-laser-welders |
| Plasma cutter | 12 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=plasma-cutters |
| MIG wire | 6 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=mig-wire |
| Welding electrode | 6 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=welding-electrodes |
| Angle grinder | 10 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=angle-grinders |
| Welding helmet | 15 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=welding-helmets |
| Welding safety gear | 9 | https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=welding-safety-gear |
Example:
curl "https://weldbase.au/api/prices?category=mig-welders"Please use the API rather than scraping the HTML pages — it's faster for you and kinder to everyone.

- Editorial, educational and non-commercial use: free. Attribution to WeldBase with a link is the only condition.
- Commercial use (paid reports, apps, supplier integrations): also fine in most cases — ask us first; it's usually a yes with a link.
- Don't present the data as your own first-party research, and don't remove the observation dates — the dates are what make it trustworthy.
- Corrections and source disputes: every price page links our verification methodology and correction log. If you spot an error, it gets fixed and logged — publicly.
