Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Dryad Tools (2)
search_datasets
Search Dryad, a curated repository of open research datasets (mostly the data underlying published, peer-reviewed studies in any field of science). Full-text query over titles, abstracts, authors and keywords. Returns matching datasets with DOI, title, authors, truncated abstract, keywords, publica…
get_dataset
Fetch a single Dryad dataset by its DOI (e.g. "doi:10.5061/dryad.hx3ffbgjj" or "10.5061/dryad.hx3ffbgjj"). Returns full metadata — title, authors, abstract, keywords, publication date, field of science, license, version — plus a download URL for the dataset files. Keyless.
Nsi Bg Tools (3)
list_datasets
List NSI Bulgaria open-data datasets with their numeric id and English (or Bulgarian) name. Each dataset id can be passed to get_dataset for the actual figures. Use the optional `filter` to substring-match dataset names (case-insensitive), e.g. 'population', 'export', 'inflation'.
