RebateRight keeps both releases current, so you can see exactly what a release changed without parsing the Services Australia files yourself. The response gives three views of the same release: | Field | What it gives you | |---|---| | `ChangedCounts` | How many items changed — in total, and per field. | | `ChangedItemNumbers` | The item numbers behind those counts, grouped the same way. | | `ChangedItems` | The full detail — added and removed items in full, plus a field-by-field old/new for every modified item. | > 🔍 **Sample only** — the example truncates the long item-number arrays and the longest item descriptions.

Compares the two most recent MBS releases RebateRight holds — the previous schedule and the current one — and returns every difference: items added, items removed, and items modified field by field. RebateRight keeps both releases current, so you can see exactly what a release changed without parsing the Services Australia files yourself.

The response gives three views of the same release:

FieldWhat it gives you
ChangedCountsHow many items changed — in total, and per field.
ChangedItemNumbersThe item numbers behind those counts, grouped the same way.
ChangedItemsThe full detail — added and removed items in full, plus a field-by-field old/new for every modified item.

🔍 Sample only — the example truncates the long item-number arrays and the longest item descriptions. The live API returns the complete lists, and ChangedCounts reflects the real totals.
