source: live probes of the AER website host and the CDR product-data host
note: >-
  www.aer.gov.au is fronted by Akamai and returns no HTTP response to direct curl
  from this probe host (TLS completes, then the connection times out with 0 bytes).
  Documents on that host were therefore retrieved through the r.jina.ai text proxy,
  which passes the origin status through; they are marked via_text_proxy: true and
  should be read as origin statuses observed indirectly. Probes against
  cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au and www.energymadeeasy.gov.au were direct.

machine_readable_discovery:
  note: >-
    The AER publishes no /.well-known discovery surface on its API host. Discovery of
    the AER's product-data endpoints happens instead through two real, anonymous,
    machine-readable surfaces recorded elsewhere in this repo — the ACCC CDR Register
    brand summary (which resolves 79 of 84 energy brands to this host) and the
    Consumer Data Standards Common API discovery endpoints served on the AER host.
