Knowledge Databases (DBW) is a statistical data platform providing access to a broad range of regularly updated socio-economic and environmental information available in long time series and full cross-sections.
The DBW API was implemented within the Open Data Plus Project, co-financed from the Operational Program Digital Poland.
