API access

All data on sverigefakta.com is free to use under CC BY 4.0. Most endpoints are fully open. Three heavier endpoints require a free API key — so a single bot can't take the site down for everyone else.

Requires a key

/api/all.zip
The complete data bundle as a zip archive.
/api/manifest.json
Machine-readable manifest with size, columns and URL for every dataset.
/api/dataset-index.json
Search index over all datasets (for crawlers and third-party clients).

Request a key

To request a free API key, email us using the alias address shown on the Support the website page. Include a short note about what you'll use the data for (research, journalism, student project, your own build — anything is fine, but we want to know). You'll get a key back within a day.

Use the key

Send the key either as the HTTP header x-api-key or as the query parameter ?key=.

# Header (recommended)
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" \
  https://sverigefakta.com/api/all.zip -o sverigefakta.zip

# Query (handy in a browser)
https://sverigefakta.com/api/manifest.json?key=YOUR_KEY
