Brazil Central Bank Open Data vs Food Standards Agency

Brazil Central Bank Open Data

A CKAN-based open-data catalogue from Banco Central do Brasil covering 4,200+ datasets — exchange rates, interest rates, public debt, and other monetary time series. Dataset metadata is browsable via the standard CKAN Action API, and most series resolve to the Central Bank's SGS (Sistema Gerenciador de Séries Temporais) endpoints, which return JSON or CSV for a specified date range with no key required.

Food Standards Agency

The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme API returns FHRS/FHIS inspection ratings for food businesses across the UK, filterable by local authority, name, and location. A live keyless query against `api.ratings.food.gov.uk/Establishments` (with the mandatory `x-api-version: 2` header) returned real establishment JSON with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header. The stored `/open-data/en-GB` path now 404s after the host moved fully to HTTPS; the API itself needs no key, only the version header.
