About this API
data.gov.sg is the official open-data portal of the Singapore Government, run by GovTech. The Open Data API v2 (host api-production.data.gov.sg) exposes the list of datasets and their contents — from government agencies covering the economy, transport, environment and demographics. Note: the older v1 API (api-open.data.gov.sg) is being retired — use v2.
