About Overheid.io
One API key over several Dutch government registries.
Overheid.io is a Dutch API platform that consolidates several open-government registries behind a single REST interface. It is operated by Downsized, a Dutch software company (KVK 58488340), and has been running since 2013. The platform exposes the Handelsregister via OpenKvK V3, the Basisregistratie Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG), the RDW vehicle register and a Dutch building energy-label dataset, all returned as JSON HAL through one ovio-api-key header.
The point of pulling Overheid.io into a warehouse is convenience and shape. Every Dutch agency runs its own portal, its own auth and its own quirks. Overheid.io flattens that to one key, one schema and one rate limit, so a single enrichment job can stamp a customer record with a KVK profile, a BAG address with surface area and building purpose, and an energy label, without three separate developer-portal accounts. The trade-off is that you are reading a third-party copy of public data on a subscription, not the source registries directly. Useful when you want broad Dutch coverage in one connector and do not need the legally-restricted slices (UBO, full Kadaster ownership records).
