Discover Resources

With the help of Catalogue APIs, a consumer can access information related to availability of a resource using text and geo-based search.

Using GSX Catalogue UI

A consumer can use the Catalogue UI to discover resources.

Catalogue UI

Using the search for Dataset box, users can perform a free text search. As they type a query, the UI will display a list of search results that can be scrolled through. If users find a resource they are interested in, they can select it by clicking on the corresponding item in the list.

Catalogue Text Search

The Catalogue Resource Page provides detailed information about a resource, including the provider's information. Users can also explore various dataset attributes, download the dataset, find the dataset ID (also known as the resource ID), and add the dataset to the canvas by clicking the '+' icon.

Access Policies of a Resource

A resource can be either Public or Restricted. If a resource is Public, it can be accessed via APIs without needing consent from the Provider. For Restricted resources, access to APIs requires consent from the Provider.
