FAQ

Where does the data come from? Singapore's official ECDA "Child Care Services" dataset on data.gov.sg, licensed for commercial reuse under the Singapore Open Data Licence.

Is it current? It reflects the latest published version of the dataset each run; collectedAt records when you pulled it.

Can I find centres near an address? Yes — pass a latitude/longitude and radiusKm; results come back sorted nearest-first with a distanceKm field.

How does billing work? A tiny per-run dataset charge plus pay per centre returned.

Can I connect it to other tools? The Singapore Childcare Directory can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
