Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Dati It Tools (5)
search_datasets
Search the dati.gov.it catalogue of Italian public-administration open data (CKAN package_search). Returns matching datasets with titles/descriptions (mostly Italian). Query may be Italian or English; Italian matches far more.
dataset_details
Full dataset record by id or slug (CKAN package_show), including its resources. Each resource carries a "url" you can fetch directly to download the data (CSV/JSON/etc.) — this portal has no datastore, so there is no row-level query API.
list_organizations
List the publishing organizations (ministries, regions, comuni, health agencies, etc.) on dati.gov.it (CKAN organization_list). Returns organization slugs; pass one to organization_details for the full record.
organization_details
Full record for one publishing organization by slug or id (CKAN organization_show): Italian display name, description, and dataset count. Get the slug from list_organizations or a dataset record.
