# Introduction to data.gov.sg ## What is data.gov.sg? [data.gov.sg](http://data.gov.sg) is the Singapore Government's open data marketplace. It brings together datasets from across public agencies — from housing and transport to health and the environment — in one place, so you can find, explore, and use government data without having to contact individual agencies. Data on the platform can be explored interactively in a browser, downloaded in bulk, or accessed programmatically through our APIs. All data is available under the Singapore Open Data Licence, which allows free use for most purposes including commercial applications. ## Product Vision Make Singapore’s data **accessible by default**, to solve problems and inform decisions ## Mission We make Singapore's open government data discoverable, understandable, and usable. Consistently co-creating valuable data with government agencies to empower people to innovate and make informed decisions. Features include 1. High quality datasets from agencies with dataset previews 2. Data visualisations of tabular (charts) and geospatial (maps) 3. APIs, both dataset and real-time ### **Stay Updated** Join our Telegram channel for release announcements, new datasets, and platform updates: To report issues or request new datasets, reach us at . --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
