  opendata.gov.al is the national government open-data portal for Albania (Open Data Albania). It is a
  custom, DCAT-AP-compliant platform (an Angular single-page-app front end over a bespoke REST API) with
  a dedicated SPARQL query endpoint, and it is harvested into the EU data portal (data.europa.eu). It is
  not CKAN or DKAN. Read endpoints live under the /api prefix using PascalCase, action-style routes.
