Overview
Thailand Open Government Data API (data.go.th) provides access to datasets published by Thai government agencies on topics like economy, environment, health, and infrastructure. An API key is required and can be obtained free of charge after registration on the portal. It supports JSON responses and is useful for research, civic apps, or learning to work with Southeast Asian public data.
Beginner Tip
Register for a free API key at data.go.th, then include it as the api_key query parameter; start with the /api/3/action/package_search endpoint to discover available datasets.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://data.go.th/api/3/action/package_search?q=population&rows=5&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
