About

Canada Open Data Search wraps the keyless CKAN Action API of the Open Government Portal (open.canada.ca) so a small business or its agent can find the right federal dataset without browsing the portal. search_datasets runs a package_search with a query, an organization and a file-format filter; dataset_detail describes one dataset (title, publisher, licence, update frequency, last modified, keywords); resource_links lists its download URLs with format, language and type; recently_modified lists what changed in the last days; licence_note gives the attribution wording of the Open Government Licence - Canada and the licence of a named dataset; business_dataset_shortlist lists a curated set of business-relevant datasets (tenders, GST/HST rate history, recalls, sanctions) and reads each one's live record. Everything is requested from the portal at run time and cached for minutes; the connector never downloads the data files themselves. Independent; not affiliated with the Government of Canada.

Sources: Reference data from official sources (open.canada.ca); every answer states its source, date and validity period.
