New: Singapore data.gov.sg Scraper — HDB, COE, Singstat — one actor for 1000+ official Singapore open datasets

What it does

Queries any of the 1000+ open datasets published on Singapore's data.gov.sg — covering transport, environment, economy, demographics, education, health, and housing. You pass a single resource_id and the actor pulls the records through the official CKAN API, so one tool replaces a pile of one-off government data scripts.

Who it's for

Analysts, researchers, journalists, and product teams who need reliable Singapore government data — from HDB resale prices and COE results to Singstat economic indicators — in a consistent, structured form.

Sample fields / output

  • resource_id (selects the dataset)
  • dataset records (fields vary by dataset)
  • field metadata
  • record counts
  • CKAN pagination cursors

Example use cases

  • Track HDB resale flat prices and COE bidding results over time.
  • Pull Singstat economic and demographic indicators for research and dashboards.
  • Monitor transport, environment, or health datasets on a recurring schedule.
