Public Syrian data API
Query public Syrian geography, university, transport, and telecom reference data through stable JSON endpoints. No API key is required for read-only requests.
Quick start
Start with dataset discovery to retrieve the current public domains and release metadata. Responses use JSON, and the OpenAPI document describes request paths and response schemas.
curl --request GET \
--url https://api.opensyria.org/api/v1/datasets \
--header 'accept: application/json'Available data domains
Query the same versioned, source-backed public datasets available from the OpenSyria catalog. Every domain links back to a human-readable dataset page with scope, downloads, provenance, and limitations.
7,953 records
Governorates, districts, subdistricts, cities, towns, villages, and localities in Syria.
/api/v1/geography/governorates/api/v1/geography/governorates/{governorateId}/api/v1/geography/districtsSyrian dialing codes, prefixes, operators, and public numbering ranges with source attribution.
/api/v1/telecom/country-numbering-plans/api/v1/telecom/country-numbering-plans/{countryNumberingPlanId}/api/v1/telecom/operatorsPublic transport locations with dated status and route snapshots, source-backed coordinates, and identifiers.
/api/v1/transport/locations/api/v1/transport/locations/{locationId}/api/v1/transport/status-snapshotsSyrian universities and higher institutes with names, locations, identifiers, and public assets.
/api/v1/universities/api/v1/universities/{universityId}Recommended workflow
The API and downloadable releases represent the same public data products. Use the API for querying and the dataset pages for context and verification.
Read the dataset catalog endpoint, then choose a domain and inspect its current release, record counts, and documentation links.
Call a versioned /api/v1 endpoint, follow the documented identifiers, and validate your integration against the OpenAPI response schema.
Use the linked dataset page and repository to review provenance, known limits, release files, source citations, and licensing before publication.
