Governments publish a lot of useful open data. But each portal has its own API, limits and format. Our tools give you a simple form and a clean table.

For economy and contracts, export World Bank indicators. Track US federal awards on USAspending. Find EU public tenders on TED.

For health, watch FDA recalls and look up US providers in the NPI registry. For cars, decode VIN numbers and check vehicle recalls.

For weather and earth, get NASA POWER climate data, weather forecasts and alerts. You can also export USGS earthquakes and river data, and estimate solar panel output.

For the UK, look up postcodes, bank holidays and carbon intensity.

All tools run on Apify. Export to CSV, JSON or Excel. You pay for use on Apify.
