City of Hamilton launches new Open Data portal

Editor’s note: They’re taking suggestions as part of this new portal. I’d love to see an easy to use API to access the transit data! What would you like to see?

Hamilton, ON – The City of Hamilton is improving its Open Data experience by launching a new Open Data portal – Open Hamilton. Accessing City data is now faster, easier and more user friendly.

Searching, filtering and viewing data are new features. This new functionality will also help the community understand the information through new display tools such as mapping, dashboards and more.

The portal provides a solid foundation for the City to continue expanding the Open Data program. The new tools can be used to turn open data into information for the broader community.

Tell us what you think. The City is encouraging the community to visit open.hamilton.ca and provide feedback on what new data should be added next, what other information they would like available, and what they would like mapped or displayed.

All of the data previously available on www.hamilton.ca/opendata has moved to the new Open Hamilton portal.
