A community-driven catalog of Open Data Portals around the world.
This repository contains the data as well as the code for the DataPortals.org website. Note: The site architecture and hosting are changing, so the site doesn't match what's in the repository.
The original plans for DataCatalogs.org - Feb 2013. Other ideas may be listed as Issues in this repository.
You can contribute additions or corrections to the data portal list by opening a new issue in the repository. Please check the list of outstanding issues first to see if your suggestion or change is already listed there to avoid duplicates.
If you can, submitting a pull request to changet the data.csv file would be even better. See the datapackage.json file to find out the structure of the csv and the meaning of each column.
This app requires NodeJS (>= v9.11).

The Check Portal URLs workflow runs lib/check_urls.js weekly and on pull requests that touch the data. It fails only when a portal's domain no longer resolves or its page returns 404/410. Other errors (like 403s from bot protection) are printed as warnings. To fix the broken ones, ask a coding agent to use the fix-broken-portal-links skill, which finds each portal's current URL or marks it inactive.
