Currently, governments develop several actions to promote greater openness of government data. However, for this initiative to achieve its objectives, an efficient relationship between supply and demand for data is necessary. Thus, the main objective of this work was to analyze requests for access to information from the Federal Government, focusing on the Ministry of Health, which assumed a leading role due to its performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the objectives, secondary data were used, available on the websites of government agencies. As main results, it is mentioned: identify applicants (proximity to the area); group requests into thematic areas; effective association between supply and demand for data; comparison of the demand for data, before and during the pandemic. In possession of these results, it is possible for managers of data opening processes to promote an opening that meets the desires of society.
