Tools & capabilities

Datagov Ie tools 5

  • search_datasetsSearch Ireland's national open-data catalogue (data.gov.ie, CKAN package_search). Returns matching datasets from government departments, state agencies, and local councils, with titles/descriptions and their resources (English).
  • dataset_detailsFull dataset record by id or slug (CKAN package_show), including its resources. Each resource has a download "url" (often PDF/CSV/XLSX) and a "datastore_active" flag; resources with datastore_active=true can be read row-by-row via datastore_query using the resource "id".
  • datastore_queryRead actual table rows from a resource via CKAN datastore_search. Works only for resources with datastore_active=true (get the resource_id from dataset_details).
  • list_organizationsList publishing organizations (government departments, state agencies, county/city councils) on data.gov.ie (CKAN organization_list).
  • list_groupsList thematic groups/categories on data.gov.ie (CKAN group_list).
