Government — entry 052 of 90
Open Government, Germany
GovData.de is Germany's federal open-data catalogue, aggregating datasets from federal, state, and municipal bodies on top of CKAN (reachable live at `www.govdata.de/ckan/api/3/action/`, backed by `ckan.govdata.de`). Metadata queries such as `package_search` work with no key over a wildcard-CORS response, so third-party apps can query the catalogue directly from the browser; a free account is only needed to publish new datasets.
