Open Government, Belgium API
Overview
The Open Government Belgium API provides free access to Belgian federal government datasets, covering areas including economy, environment, mobility, and social statistics. No API key is required, and the portal uses the standard CKAN API interface. Data is available in multiple languages reflecting Belgium's multilingual nature (French, Dutch, German).
Beginner Tip
Belgium's data portal supports CKAN's package_search endpoint; try filtering by organization using the fq=organization:NAME parameter to find datasets from a specific Belgian federal agency.
