Government and public records APIs for AI agents

Government and public records APIs turn official sources into one clean JSON call, so an agent does not have to scrape a registry or parse a bulk download. This page keeps Data, Verification, Intelligence and Finance listings that name an official source, such as SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, the FDA, FMCSA, NPPES, SAM.gov, PACER, Companies House, Land Registry, Eurostat, the World Bank or census and open government data, or whose name says government, census or federal. The records are public, but the provider does the fetching, cleaning and matching, and that is what the agent pays for. Discovery in the PayAPI Market catalogue is free. The agent pays the provider per call over x402 in USDC on Base, Solana or Algorand, without an API key. Settlement-verified means a paid route with an on-chain receipt, and the examples are claimed listings with one. Unclaimed (bazaar) imports follow with that label. Listing is free and the provider keeps 100% of each settled call.

79 APIs and 1325 endpoints match this page. 40 are settlement-verified: a paid route with an on-chain receipt.

Questions

Why pay for data that is already public?

The source is free, but the work is not. A listing fetches the official record, normalises it and returns structured JSON in one call. For an agent that is cheaper than writing and maintaining a scraper for each registry.

Which countries are covered?

Mostly the United States and the United Kingdom, with listings for the Netherlands, France and other countries. The match rule is about the source named in the listing, so check each description for its coverage.

How is the source cited?

That is up to the provider. Many listings return the official source link with each record. PayAPI Market adds the on-chain receipt for the route it paid, which shows the date of the verified call.
