Canada Open Data Search API helps teams collect Canada open data, CKAN search, government datasets as clean JSON on Apify. It uses Open Canada CKAN API, so the listing matches the real data source used by the Actor. Search Canada's open data catalog with dataset titles, notes, organizations, licenses, tags, resources, update dates, and URLs. The Actor uses the real public source validated during development:
- Source: Open Canada CKAN API
- Region: Canada
- Start URL/API:
https://open.canada.ca/data/api/action/package_search?q=health&rows=10 - Output: normalized JSON records pushed to the default Apify dataset
What You Can Extract
Use this Actor to collect structured government open data catalog records for enrichment, monitoring, market research, dashboards, AI agents, and scheduled data pipelines. The output keeps the useful source fields while adding rank, source, region, source URL, and fetch timestamp fields, so every row can be traced back to its origin.
Typical use cases include international market intelligence, public-sector data discovery, local SEO research, data enrichment, academic research, travel and transport monitoring, risk monitoring, and automated reporting. The Actor intentionally avoids brittle browser scraping and heavy bot-protected websites. It calls a public JSON endpoint and exits after pushing data, keeping maintenance low and runs fast.
Input
Most users only need to adjust maxResults. Some sources also support a search query, country code, station code, city code, area code, indicator code, Formula 1 season, or CNPJ list depending on the underlying API.
