About Open Government, Argentina

Datos Argentina is the Argentine national government's open data portal, providing public datasets in open formats for reuse, modification, and redistribution. The portal organizes datasets by government organism and by 14 thematic categories, including agriculture and fishing, economy and finance, science and technology, education, energy, government and public sector, justice and security, environment, population, health, territory, and transport. Contributing organisms include agencies such as the Secretaría de Energía, INDEC (national statistics institute), PAMI, ENACOM, ENARGAS, ARSAT, and various ministries.

Datasets are downloadable in formats such as CSV, SHP, PDF, PHP, and XLS, and the full catalog is also accessible programmatically through an API without keys, for reasonable use. The portal also links to related resources including a Georef API, a time series API, and an "Andino" open data platform package. It is aimed at developers, researchers, and members of the public seeking to build visualizations, applications, or tools using Argentine government data.
