CKAN Data API

Access resource data via a web API with powerful query support.
Further information in the main CKAN Data API and DataStore documentation.

The Data API can be accessed via the following actions of the CKAN action API.

Query
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search`
Query (via SQL)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql`

Query example (first 5 results)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=1b47a532-9f22-49c1-ae2a-d84dcc6d7408&limit=5`
Query example (via SQL statement)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "1b47a532-9f22-49c1-ae2a-d84dcc6d7408" LIMIT 5`

A simple ajax (JSONP) request to the data API using jQuery.

var data = {
  resource_id: '1b47a532-9f22-49c1-ae2a-d84dcc6d7408', // the resource id
  limit: 5 // get 5 results
};
$.ajax({
  url: 'https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search',
  data: data,
  dataType: 'jsonp',
  success: function(data) {
    alert('Total results found: ' + data.result.total)
  }
});
