Hello, 

 

I’m student, and I need to use OpenDataSoft for French municipalities per year, I want to know if it’s possible to get an API key to get this kind of data without limitations please. This is the data that I need between 2015 and 2024.

Hi, 

The data on this public portal are all open data, you won’t be needing an API key. 

If you are encountering record limits (100) with endpoint /records, use the endpoint /exports 

Although you will have rate-limit for security reason. 

Here are some useful resources that should help you to use the Explore API :
