Government — entry 048 of 90

Open Government, Denmark

Verified Jul 2026

Opendata.dk is run by OS2, a Danish municipal digital-cooperation network (hosted via Aarhus Kommune/ITK), aggregating open datasets mainly from Danish municipalities and other public bodies rather than a single federal ministry. It runs CKAN, with the metadata Action API live and keyless at `admin.opendata.dk/api/3/action/` — calls like `package_list` and `package_search` return JSON with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header for direct browser use.
