RI.gov: Rhode Island Government

Open Data

The RI.gov portal team is committed to making RI.gov links, as well as many other data sets available to the general public. We invite you to browse the data sets below and create something! Please share with us what you create by E-Mail.

Portal XML

The entire RI.gov links database is accessible as XML via a simple URL query. For example:

http://www.ri.gov/links/?tags=online+service&ret=xml
returns all links associated with online services.

To use, simply browse through the tagged links pages to find the tags or combination of tags you wish to use, then create the URL using the scheme listed above.

To combine multiple tags, combine using the following URL scheme:

http://www.ri.gov/links/?tags=online+service%2C+business&ret=xml

This example combines the link tags Online Service and Business to return XML for links tagged with both.
