Government — entry 065 of 90
Open Government, New Zealand
Data.govt.nz is New Zealand's national open-data portal; the public `www.data.govt.nz` domain serves the HTML catalogue UI, while the real CKAN REST API lives on a separate host, `catalogue.data.govt.nz/api/3/action/`. A keyless GET against `package_list` returns full dataset JSON with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, so browser apps can query it directly. Stats NZ runs the portal, aggregating datasets from central and local government agencies across statistics, geospatial, and public-sector performance data.
