Why this repo

Most Algeria datasets are stuck on the old 48 or 58 wilayas. After the 2025/2026 reform brought the country to 69 wilayas, I couldn't find a clean, ready-to-use source that reflected it — so I built one and made it easy to drop into any project.

The nested file data/algeria.json is the single source of truth. Everything else is derived from it and checked by CI on every change.

What's inside

File	What it is
data/algeria.json	Full nested tree: wilaya → daïra → commune (source of truth)
data/wilayas.json	Flat list of the 69 wilayas
data/dairas.json	Flat list of the 591 daïras
data/communes.json	Flat list of the 1541 communes (with wilaya + daïra + postal code)
data/by-wilaya/NN.json	One file per wilaya (01.json … 69.json) — grab just what you need

Every record carries nom_ar, nom_fr, nom_en. Since Algerian place names use the Latin alphabet, nom_en matches nom_fr for almost every entry — the one real exonym is Algiers (Alger).

Good to know

• Daïra layer: wilaya → commune reflects the current 69-wilaya structure; daïra → commune membership comes from the pre-2025 structure regrouped under the new wilayas. Where the reform split a daïra across two wilayas, it appears under each — so the daïra count is 591, not ~548.
• Postal codes: 27 of 1541 communes have code_postal: null (small communes missing from the reference data). Corrections welcome.

Spotted something wrong? Please open an issue or PR — see CONTRIBUTING.md. Edit only data/algeria.json; CI validates the rest.
