Common questions
What is data.gov.in? +
data.gov.in is India's official government open data portal. It hosts 10,000+ datasets from central and state ministries covering agriculture, economy, environment, health, transport, and demographics.
Do I need authentication to access data.gov.in? +
The OGD Platform API requires a free API key. Registration is open and free at data.gov.in. The scraper handles the key-based authentication automatically.
What are the most valuable datasets? +
APMC mandi prices (daily commodity prices across mandis), foreign trade data (DGFT), PM Kisan beneficiary data, MSME registration data, and state-level COVID statistics are among the most-pulled datasets.
Why is the data.gov.in API difficult to use directly? +
Each dataset uses inconsistent field names, some older datasets ignore the format parameter and return CSV regardless, pagination has off-by-one errors on the last page, and filter key names are case-sensitive.
What format does the scraper return data in? +
Normalized JSON with consistent field names, UTF-8 encoding, and pagination already handled. Each record includes the source dataset ID and resource ID for traceability.
