Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

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'.

get_dataset

Fetch a single NSI Bulgaria dataset by numeric id as a JSON-stat 2.0 object (dimensions, categories, and the flat `value` array). Get ids from list_datasets. Example ids: 107 (children in kindergartens by municipality), 242 (aggregate replacement ratio).

get_fields

Fetch the field/dimension metadata for an NSI dataset (its column codes plus Bulgarian and English names) as parsed CSV rows. Useful for interpreting the dimension codes in a get_dataset response.

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…
