Hi, I’m Kane 👋
Building opendata.best — the unified API for government data. 865 live data products across 42 countries. 445M+ indexed records.
Apify Actor Toolkit: lentic_clockss on Apify
43 ready-to-run Actors for global company search, sanctions screening, regulatory compliance lookup, procurement monitoring, and country-specific public data workflows. MCP-compatible and built for AI agent use.
What is opendata.best
Compliance teams, procurement buyers, and B2B platforms need fast, normalized access to sanctions lists, company registries, court records, procurement notices, and regulatory feeds. Most of this data is technically “public” but locked behind brittle government portals and inconsistent APIs.
I built a single REST API with 150+ prebuilt adapters against official sources (never scraped) — so you can ship supplier screening, company verification, and bid monitoring without writing your own scrapers.
