Accessing Data

There are several ways to download data from CanWIN's Data Catalogue, and data can also be easily accessed using the CKAN API.

Each element of a dataset is called a data resource or a data file, and these can be in a variety of formats. A resource can be downloaded individually, or all resources can be downloaded as a data package. 

See the following pages for more information:

  • Downloading Data and Metadata – provides different options for downloading packaged datasets and metadata in varying formats.
  • Using the CKAN API – provides information on how to retrieve data via the API using different tools.
