The official Hong Kong Government Data Portal (DATA.GOV.HK): a central repository providing thousands of machine-readable datasets for public, commercial, and non-commercial re-use.

DATA.GOV.HK is the Hong Kong government's primary open data platform, coordinated by the Digital Policy Office. It aggregates datasets from over 50 government departments, offering data in machine-readable formats: CSV, JSON, and XLSX are standard. The portal covers critical domains like City Management, Transportation (real-time bus ETA), and Health. Developers and researchers utilize the available APIs to build new solutions, leveraging specific data like Historical Maps or Kindergarten teacher salaries. The initiative promotes transparency and innovation across the public and private sectors.
