The Repository

Compiled public data you can query, clean, and download

The Repository serves approved releases for the same places the Observatory maps. Native APIs stay with the publisher. Synthetic APIs exist only after a mirrored, license-reviewed release.

Browse by country

Native APIs

Aggregated, not intermediated

Where a government already publishes an API, we document the endpoints and point you to the source. Your relationship stays with the issuing authority.

Synthetic APIs

Built where nothing exists

Where records live only in spreadsheets and scanned PDFs, an approved mirrored release can be queried and downloaded from this Repository.
