Government — entry 058 of 90
Open Government, Korea
South Korea's Public Data Portal (공공데이터포털) hosts both file downloads and live OpenAPI web services from government agencies, spanning weather forecasts, transit, and public-service records. Calling an API needs a free serviceKey from quick registration, and most keys carry a default daily call quota (commonly in the low thousands) that can be raised by registering a specific production use case. Responses come back as JSON or XML, and a live probe confirmed the API layer sends open CORS headers, so it's callable directly from browser code.
