Statistics Canada Scraper

Searches the Statistics Canada data cube catalogue through the official Web Data Service. No login, no proxy, no browser.

Input

FieldTypeNotes
titleContainsstringCase-insensitive filter on English title. Default employment.
activeOnlybooleanExclude archived cubes. Default false.
maxItemsintegerCap on cubes returned. Default 100.

Output

One row per cube: productId, cansimId, title, titleFr, startDate, endDate, releaseTime, frequencyCode, frequency, isArchived, tableUrl.

Notes

  • The catalogue is served whole — over 8,000 cubes in one response with no server-side search, so filtering happens here. That is why the run pulls everything and then narrows.
  • archived arrives as the string "1" rather than a boolean, so a truthy check marks every cube archived. It is compared explicitly.
  • An archived cube is not a broken one — it is a discontinued series whose history is still valid. Use activeOnly when you need something currently updated.
  • productId is the key for fetching the actual data via the WDS getDataFromCubePidCoord endpoints; this Actor catalogues, it does not download the series themselves.
