The fine print

License note: Custom: National Treasury terms allow commercial and non-commercial reuse with attribution and the publication date. The site's code licence does not cover the data. One cube lists municipal officials; Signal Lab lists the API as finance data only.
Required attribution: Required: acknowledge National Treasury as the source and give the date of publication.

// Overview

South Africa Municipal Money API (National Treasury)

National Treasury's Municipal Money data portal publishes financial data for every South African municipality (income and expenditure, financial position, cash flow, capital spending, grants, aged debtors and creditors, and audit opinions) through a keyless JSON API of data cubes.

Coverage

South Africa, all municipalities, including disestablished ones; budget and actual figures as published by National Treasury, with the site noting when new quarterly data are loaded.

Verdict

Municipal fiscal health data for African money-flow agents. One cube lists municipal officials as published by National Treasury; Signal Lab doesn't feature it and lists this as finance data only. Licence: Custom: the terms say "Users may use, download, copy, publish, distribute and transmit the data obtained from this website and API freely and flexibly, including for commercial and non-commercial purposes, subject to the following conditions." One condition: "Acknowledge and reference the source of the data as National Treasury and the date of publication." Rate limits: Not stated. Signal Lab links only.
