About this data
<p style="text-align: justify;">This dataset provides the whole set of <strong>OECD regional health indicators</strong> in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. It is recommended for users who wish to query a large amount of data. It is not designed for visualising results using the Table and Chart buttons. To access the ‘Developer API query builder’, click on the ‘Developer API’ button above.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The application programming interface (API), based on the SDMX standard, allows a developer to access the data using simple RESTful URL and HTTP header options for various choices of response formats including JSON. The query filter is generated according to the current data selection.
