publicsgdata

Python client for Singapore government open data: data.gov.sg today, LTA and OneMap later.

Install

Requires uv.

uv pip install publicsgdata

Quickstart

from publicsgdata import DataGovSGClient

with DataGovSGClient() as client:  # optional: api_key="..." or DATA_GOV_SG_API_KEY
    catalog = client.collections.list()
    print(f"{len(catalog.collections)} collections")
    print(catalog.collections[0].name)

    # HDB resale prices (swap in any dataset ID)
    rows = client.datasets.list_rows("d_8b84c4ee58e3cfc0ece0d773c8ca6abc", limit=10)
    for row in rows.rows:
        print(row.model_dump())

    pm25 = client.realtime.pm25.get()
    print(pm25.items[0].readings)

Async

from publicsgdata import AsyncDataGovSGClient

async with AsyncDataGovSGClient() as client:
    rows = await client.datasets.list_rows("d_8b84c4ee58e3cfc0ece0d773c8ca6abc", limit=5)
    print(len(rows.rows))

Custom HTTP client

Pass your own httpx client if you need custom timeouts, proxies, etc.

import httpx
from publicsgdata import DataGovSGClient

with httpx.Client(timeout=30.0) as http:
    client = DataGovSGClient(http_client=http)
    print(len(client.collections.list().collections))

Authentication

You can call the API without a key while experimenting. For regular use, get a key from data.gov.sg and set:

export DATA_GOV_SG_API_KEY="your-key"

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
DATA_GOV_SG_API_KEY	No	data.gov.sg API key (x-api-key header)

Development

You'll need uv.

./scripts/dev_setup.sh         # creates .venv from uv.lock
./scripts/format.sh
./scripts/validate.sh
./scripts/test.sh              # unit tests, runs in CI
./scripts/test_integration.sh  # hits the real API, local only

Or run things directly: uv run pytest, uv run ruff check ., etc.

See CONTRIBUTING.md if you're opening a PR.
