WIB Public API

Free JSON endpoints for India's verified hospital and restaurant data — 463 hospitals + 605 restaurants across 36 cities. No signup, no API key, no rate limits. CORS-enabled for browser fetches. CC-BY 4.0 license. Use it for journalism, research, prototypes, dashboards, and apps.

Quickstart

Open this URL in a browser — you'll get back the full hospital dataset as JSON:

https://wibest.in/data/json/hospitals.json

From JavaScript / browser:

const res = await fetch('https://wibest.in/data/json/hospitals.json');
const json = await res.json();
// json.count = 463, json.data = [...]
console.log(json.data[0]);

From Python (pandas):

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json('https://wibest.in/data/json/hospitals.json', orient='records')['data']
# or use the CSV directly:
df = pd.read_csv('https://wibest.in/data/csv/wib-hospitals-all.csv')

From curl:

curl https://wibest.in/data/json/hospitals.json | jq '.data[] | select(.nabh == true)'

Patterns & recipes

Filter by NABH-accredited hospitals in a city

const r = await fetch('/data/api/hospitals/bangalore.json');
const json = await r.json();
const nabhOnly = json.data.filter(h => h.nabh);
console.log(nabhOnly.length, 'NABH hospitals in', json.city);

Find top-rated cardiology hospitals across India

const r = await fetch('/data/json/hospitals.json');
const json = await r.json();
const cardio = json.data
  .filter(h => h.specialties.includes('Cardiology') || h.specialties.includes('Cardiac Surgery'))
  .sort((a, b) => (b.rating || 0) - (a.rating || 0))
  .slice(0, 10);

Pandas: NABH coverage by city

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('https://wibest.in/data/csv/wib-hospitals-all.csv')
nabh_by_city = df.groupby('city')['nabh'].agg(['sum', 'count'])
nabh_by_city['rate'] = nabh_by_city['sum'] / nabh_by_city['count']
print(nabh_by_city.sort_values('rate', ascending=False))

Rate limits & reliability

• No rate limits. Files are static JSON/CSV served by GitHub Pages — there's nothing to rate-limit beyond Cloudflare's defaults (which are generous).
• Caching is your friend. Each combined dataset is ~90KB. If you're fetching often, cache it client-side or server-side for at least an hour. The data updates weekly at most.
• Versioning. The header object's version field is a date stamp. Pin to it if your app needs stable references; otherwise the URL always returns the latest snapshot.
• Changelog. Major dataset updates are logged at /data/changelog/.

Roadmap

• Schools and colleges open data export is queued — same JSON + CSV pattern as hospitals/restaurants. ETA: June 2026.
• Historical snapshots. Quarterly versioned datasets so researchers can study how Indian hospital/restaurant landscapes change over time.
• Geo lookups. Filter by state, lat/lng radius, or postal pincode.
• Aggregate endpoints. Pre-computed summaries (NABH coverage by city, cuisine distribution, etc.) so you don't need to load the full dataset for basic metrics.
