How to use open data?

You can review the published datasets, download them in the format you need and process the data for your own work without licensing concerns.

1
Find the dataset

Use the search box, pick one of the groups or open the Datasets menu.

2
Download or connect to the API

CSV, XLSX, GeoJSON and JSON are open without registration. Use the CKAN Action API for live data.

3
Use it in your own work

You may use it commercially as long as you cite the source. If the data is missing, open a request.

Finding a dataset

The portal holds 232 datasets, 20 organizations and 10 groups. You can narrow the search results by organization, group, tag, file format and licence.

Tip: Use the tag filter for datasets that carry coordinates — geographic datasets are tagged. See geographic datasets →

Formats and downloads

Every dataset holds one or more resource files. The distribution of resources is:

CSV · 173 XLSX · 72 GeoJSON · 25 JSON · 13 ZIP · 1 TXT · 1 PDF · 1 JPEG · 1

Connecting over the API

The whole catalogue is machine readable over the CKAN Action API. Read endpoints do not need a key.
