Open Government, Lithuania

Verified Jul 2026

Lietuvos atvirų duomenų portalas (data.gov.lt) is Lithuania's national open-data portal, run by the State Digital Solutions Agency (VSSA); the stored `/public/api/1` path no longer serves any data. Despite its `/partner/` path, the documented REST API at `data.gov.lt/partner/api/1/` is the portal's general-purpose read API for catalogs, categories, licences, and datasets — a live call without credentials returns a 403 confirming an API key (`Authorization: ApiKey <key>`, issued by VSSA) is required, and responses carry no CORS header for browser-side cross-origin use.

  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
