In accordance with the Digital Government Strategy, the Department of State promotes the innovative application of agency data in the public and private sectors. State.gov/developer connects developers with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) they need to unlock government data. This page is the primary resource for developers interested in the Department’s data—we will post information about the API, API Datasets Sampler, frequently asked questions, and the ability to get and maintain API keys.

If you have ideas for APIs you’d like us to make available, we’d really like to hear from you! Click here to send us your ideas, comments, or questions.
