SKILL — Wilayah Indonesia
Use this skill when a developer wants to integrate Indonesian administrative data (provinces, regencies/cities, districts, villages, postal codes, boundaries) into their app. Data is available in two interchangeable ways: Static API (https://www.emsifa.com/api-wilayah-indonesia/v2) and Downloaded files (npx wilayah download --format csv|sql|json). This file only describes what you will receive — columns, keys, and response shapes — so you can build for any stack.
1. Which Source Should You Use?
- Static API: Best for MVPs, frontend-only apps, or edge functions. No database needed — just
fetch JSON. Includes polygons for maps. Data is cached on CDN.
- Download: Best when you need offline validation, foreign keys, or complex queries (
WHERE postal_code = ?). You get the full dataset to self-host in your own database or static hosting.
Ask the user: “Do you want to fetch from the API or self-host the data?”
2. API — What You Get
Base URL: https://www.emsifa.com/api-wilayah-indonesia/v2
Every response has the same wrapper:
{
"data": <object or array>,
"meta": {
"generated_at": "2026-09-02T03:35:49Z",
"level": 1
}
}
data: the actual payload (see below)
meta.generated_at: when the file was generated (RFC3339)
meta.level: depth 0=stats, 1=province, 2=regency, 3=district, 4=village/postal
2.1 What you get for provinces & regencies (detailed)
For provinces.json, provinces/{code}.json, regencies/{province}.json, regencies/{regency}.json you receive rich objects:
{
"id": "32",
"name": "Jawa Barat",
"capital": "Bandung",
"lat": -6.90,
"lng": 107.61,
"elv": 739,
"tz": 7,
"population": 51316378,
"total_area": 37053.33,
"has_path": true,
"province": { "id": "32", "name": "Jawa Barat" },
"regency": { "id": "32.73"
- You'll always get
id, name, and has_path (boolean, true if /paths/{id}.json exists). For provinces and regencies you also get capital, lat, lng (for map marker), elv, tz, population, total_area.
has_path is always present (true/false) — check it before fetching /paths/{id}.json to avoid 404.
- Detail endpoints also include their parent: a regency includes
province, a district includes province + regency, a village includes all three.
2.2 What you get for districts & villages (lists)
For lists, you get a compact form to keep files small:
{ "id": "32.73.01", "name": "Sukasari", "lat": -6.87, "lng": 107.59, "has_path": true }
{ "id": "32.73.01.1001", "name": "Sukarasa", "postal_code": "40152", "lat": -6.87, "lng": 107.59, "has_path": true }
- District lists have
id, name, lat, lng, and has_path (compact but with coordinates).
- Village lists add
postal_code + has_path so you can filter by postal code and know if polygon is available without a separate lookup.
- Detail endpoints (
districts/{code}.json, villages/{code}.json) also include has_path alongside lat/lng and parent objects.
2.3 All endpoints
| Path | What it returns |
|---|
/stats.json | Totals for all levels |
/provinces.json | All provinces (detailed) |
/provinces/{code}.json | One province, e.g. 32 |
/regencies/{province_code}.json | Regencies in that province |
/regencies/{regency_code}.json | One regency + its province |
/districts/{regency_code}.json | Districts in that regency (compact) + has_path |
/districts/{district_code}.json | One district + its province/regency + has_path |
/villages/{district_code}.json | Villages in that district + postal_code + has_path |
/villages/{village_code}.json | One village + postal_code + all parents + has_path |
/postal-codes/{postal_code}.json | All villages that use that postal code |
/paths/{code}.json | Boundary polygon for any level (fetch only if has_path=true) |
/missings.json | Wilayah dimana has_path==false OR has_latlng==false (flat {id,name,has_path,has_latlng} + summary by_level) |
2.4 Totals (stats)
{
"total_provinces": 38,
"total_regencies": 514,
"total_districts": 7285,
"total_villages": 83762,
"total_postal_codes": 10632,
"total_paths": 551,
"total_population": 284973643,
"total_area": 1889518.25,
"total_endpoints": 201309,
"total_filesize": 300423246,
"total_filesize_human": "286.51 MB",
"total_disk_usage": 915771392,
"total_disk_usage_human": "873.35 MB"
}
2.5 Boundaries (polygons)
{
"data": {
"id": "32",
"name": "Jawa Barat",
"path": [[[ -6.98, 106.39 ], [-6.93, 106.39 ]], [[ ... ]]]
}
}
- Polygons are available for all levels when
has_path=true — check has_path on any provinces/regencies/districts/villages response before fetching /paths/{id}.json. Some have one ring (single island), others have many (e.g., Jakarta 2 rings, Aceh 28, Papua Barat 1455). Your map code should handle both: if the first element is a point [lat,lng] it's a single polygon, if it's an array of points it's already a list of rings — collect all rings that have more than 2 points.
2.6 Missings (incomplete data)
{
"data": [
{ "id": "53.09.14.2011", "name": "Watu Pangan", "has_path": false, "has_latlng": false },
{ "id": "32.73.01.1005", "name": "Sukajadi", "has_path": false, "has_latlng": true }
],
"meta": { "updated_at": "2026-09-03", "level": 0 },
"summary":
has_path: true if /paths/{id}.json exists, else false.
has_latlng: true if lat and lng present and not 0/null/undefined, else false.
- List is flat across all levels; entry appears if
has_path==false OR has_latlng==false.
summary.by_level counts per level (province=0 dots, regency=1, district=2, village=3).
3. Downloaded Files — What You Get
Run npx wilayah download --format <csv|sql|json> --output ./wilayah.<ext> to get the full dataset to host yourself. You can also get the same shapes via the API, but as static files you control.
3.1 wilayah.csv / wilayah.json (full hierarchy)
Every row is one administrative area:
kode,nama
11,Aceh
11.01,Kabupaten Aceh Selatan
11.01.01,Bakongan
11.01.01.2001,Keude Bakongan
kode: the ID. Count the dots to know the level: no dot = province (2 chars, e.g. 11), one dot = regency (5 chars, 11.01), two dots = district (8 chars, 11.01.01), three dots = village (13 chars, 11.01.01.2001)
nama: the display name
The json version has the same rows as an array of {kode, nama}.
3.2 Rich data for provinces & regencies
When you need coordinates, capital, population, area, or polygon, use the level 1/2 data. In the download this is available as extra columns (for sql/json) or as the API rich objects:
kode,nama,ibukota,lat,lng,elv,tz,luas,penduduk,path
11,Aceh,Banda Aceh,5.57,95.34,11,7,56835.019,5623479,"[[[2.07,97.07],...]]"
ibukota = capital, luas = total_area, penduduk = population, path = same polygon as /paths endpoint
3.3 Postal code mapping
kode,kodepos
32.73.01.1001,40152
kode: village id
kodepos: postal code used to build postal-codes/{code}.json. One postal code can map to many villages.
3.4 What each download format gives you
wilayah.json / api/*.json: same structures as Section 2 — ready to serve as static files.
wilayah.sql: INSERT statements with columns kode, nama, capital, lat, lng, elv, tz, total_area, population, postal_code — import into MySQL/Postgres.
wilayah.csv: merged table with kode,nama,postal_code plus rich columns for provinces/regencies.
4. How IDs and Relationships Work
- The
kode / id is the primary key. Split by . to get the parent: 32.73.01.1001 → province 32, regency 32.73, district 32.73.01.
- Hierarchy is always
province → regency → district → village.
postal_code lives on the village. Use postal-codes/{code}.json to find all villages sharing a code.
5. How to Use (for the AI)
- If the user wants to fetch: call the endpoints in Section 2 in order
provinces → regencies/{prov} → districts/{reg} → villages/{dist}. Always use the real kode from the previous response, never guess. Check has_path before fetching /paths/{id}.json.
- If the user wants to self-host: suggest
npx wilayah download --format <...> and point to the columns above. Let the user choose the format that fits their database.
- For maps, all levels have
lat/lng and may have polygons when has_path=true — check the flag first.
- To monitor coverage: fetch
/missings.json — each entry {id,name,has_path,has_latlng} appears if !has_path || !has_latlng; use summary to see totals by level.
