description: >-
  data.egov.bg is the national government open-data portal for Bulgaria, operated by the Ministry of
  e-Government (Министерство на електронното управление). It is a custom Laravel application exposing a
  REST API with action-style endpoints (predominantly POST with JSON bodies) under the /api prefix. It
  is not CKAN. Public read endpoints require no key; write/admin endpoints require an api_key obtained
  via a free account.
