Better than it is now, where none of that data is available except possibly through FOIA lawsuits.


That hasn't been true in my experience.

What data are you looking for that isn't available?

The only thing I can think of that's difficult to get is some law enforcement, military and "national security" related information, but APIs aren't going to change that.

I don't have a ton of experience with it (mostly USGS and NOAA), but the Department of Commerce and the Department of Interior both make a ton of data available.
