What it does
The UN SDG API from the United Nations Statistics Division gives the global database of the Sustainable Development Goals: the goals, targets and indicators, and the data per country and year, for example to track poverty or access to clean water. Responses are JSON; an OpenAPI (Swagger) description lists every method. Free, no key needed.
