Access Ghana’s data through one API.
Sign up, take a free key, preview real rows, and query hospitals, schools, districts and markets — without hunting CSVs or stitching shapefiles.
You need Ghana data in a product. Not a research project. Not a weekend of unzipping shapefiles. A path from “I need hospitals in Ashanti” to a JSON response you can ship.
That path is what API Ghana is for.
What you get
- One REST API over open datasets about Ghana
- Source and licence named on every dataset
- Three datasets free to start; preview before you subscribe
- The same request in the console and in production
Get a free API key
Create an account on API Ghana. Your live key is issued as soon as you sign up. No procurement ticket. No waiting for someone to “send the Excel.”
Keep the key in your environment, not in the repo. The same key works in the console, in curl, and in production.
Browse and preview
Open the datasets catalogue. Filter by sector. Open a dataset and look at real rows and the schema before you write a line of integration code.
Preview exists so you can answer: Is this the table I think it is? If the answer is no, you have spent minutes, not a sprint.
Query
Call the REST endpoints with your key. Filter, sort, and paginate the same way you would any modern API. What you compose in the query builder is what you ship.
Typical first requests:
- List datasets you can reach on your plan
- Pull a page of rows from a free dataset
- Filter by region or district when the schema supports it
When you need more than the free tier, plans scale with you — the API shape stays the same.
What counts as “Ghana data” here
We compile published open sources into one schema: OpenStreetMap, World Bank Open Data, geoBoundaries, Open-Meteo, and others listed on each dataset page. We do not invent official statistics. We make public data queryable.
Coverage is honest. Map layers are denser in Greater Accra and Ashanti than in thinner-mapped districts. Where the source is thin, the docs say so.
