Government — entry 057 of 90
Open Government, Italy
Dati.gov.it is Italy's national open-data catalogue, running CKAN under the `/opendata` path (confirmed live via the `ckan` session cookie CKAN sets on every request). The CKAN Action API at `/opendata/api/3/action/package_search` and friends works with no key and returns JSON. Unlike several of its EU peers, the live API does not send an `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, so browser JavaScript on another origin cannot call it directly — server-side or proxied requests still work fine.
