Data.gov CKAN API

Description

The data.gov catalog is powered by CKAN, a powerful open source data platform that includes a robust API. Please be aware that data.gov and the data.gov CKAN API only contain metadata about datasets. This metadata includes URLs and descriptions of datasets, but it does not include the actual data within each dataset.

23 This provides a bulk extract of all metadata stored in Data.gov for Federal datasets. The file is automatically generated monthly as an export from the CKAN API using the JSON Lines serialization format (jsonlines.org). This does not provide all metadata stored on Data.gov, only metadata for Federal datasets following the metadata guidelines described at http://www.digitalgov.gov/resources/how-to-get-your-open-data-on-data-gov/ The compressed file is approximately 2.3GB. https://filestore.data.gov/gsa/catalog/jsonl/dataset.jsonl.gz
