Government — entry 079 of 90
Open Government, Switzerland
Opendata.swiss is Switzerland's national open-data portal, built on CKAN. Its own handbook lists the base API URL as `https://ckan.opendata.swiss/api/3/action/`, callable through the standard CKAN action API (for example, `package_search`) with no key needed. A live check against that host, with a browser User-Agent header, returned HTTP 200 and an `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` header on both `status_show` and `package_search`, and the same header on an OPTIONS preflight. The API is keyless, returns JSON, and accepts browser-side calls.
