USAID Development Data Library API

The USAID Development Data Library (DDL) provides programmatic access to USAID's open datasets via the Socrata Open Data API (SODA). Developers can filter, query, and aggregate datasets covering development activities, projects, evaluations, and geographic data. An application token is required for higher rate limits. Data is also available in machine-readable format and feeds into data.gov.
