Health — entry 001 of 23
CMS.gov
CMS Provider Data Catalog exposes hundreds of Medicare quality, cost, and comparison datasets (hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis facilities, and more) through a DKAN-based metastore and datastore API that returns JSON by default and CSV on request, with no signup required. A live GET against the dataset-listing and datastore query endpoints succeeds with no credentials. A live Origin-header probe against the datastore query endpoint returns no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on either a GET or an OPTIONS preflight, and since access needed no key at all, the stored 'API Key' auth was corrected to 'None'.
