Government — entry 080 of 90

Open Government, Taiwan

Verified Jul 2026

Taiwan's national open-data platform runs a machine-to-machine (M2M) export API separate from its dataset catalogue, returning dataset, statistics, and metadata exports as JSON, XML, or CSV from simple unauthenticated calls — no key or registration needed. A live probe found its CORS header locked to the platform's own origin rather than reflecting arbitrary requesters, so browser-based calls from third-party domains are blocked even though server-side access works fine. Individual dataset resources are commonly also published as CSV or XLS files.
