Search French open datasets.

Searches data.gouv.fr, the French government open data portal, like its dataset search page: dataset title, link and short description, in the site's order. Also returns the total number of matching datasets as shown on the page. First page only (about 20 datasets). Returns an empty list when nothing matches.

Reads from your session

Nothing. Your browser attaches the site's cookies by itself.

Used only in requests to the addresses on the left. Never sent to wield.run or your agent.

Checks

a run passes when

length(output.datasets) > `0`
length(output.datasets[?title != `null`]) == length(output.datasets)
length(output.datasets[?starts_with(url, 'https://www.data.gouv.fr/datasets/')]) == length(output.datasets)

Raw recipe

Served as canonical JSON from /api/v1/recipes/data.gouv.fr/search-open-data, so its sha256 matches the ETag and the index.
