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=64f7908f-f787-4977-93e1-5342a5f1357f&limit=5`
Query example (via SQL statement)
`https://api.neso.energy/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "64f7908f-f787-4977-93e1-5342a5f1357f" LIMIT 5`

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

var data = {
  resource_id: '64f7908f-f787-4977-93e1-5342a5f1357f', // 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)
  }
});

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

Stage

Title	Stage
Type	number
Description	Stage refers to Staged TEC – how much TEC the Customer will connect and when.
Comment	The customer may choose to bring on capacity in chunks to align with their build. /commissioning program. Staged contracts are also used when a customer may only be able to bring on a proportion of their total capacity at a particular point in time ahead of further reinforcement works being carried out, completion of which would allow the remaining TEC onto the system. Field is only completed if the project is staged otherwise it will be empty
Example	1
Unit	n/a

Project Status

Title	Project Status
Type	string
Description	Indicates what stage the Project is at in it's build cycle
Comment	The Status classifications are very much based on information we have either ascertained from the customer or from another source, i.e. government website. It’s important to note that we hold no authority on the Status classifications on Registers and are produced on an “as far as we are aware” basis. To this end we deem the classifications to mean: Scoping – we are not aware that a planning application has been made Awaiting Consents – we are aware (or the customer has told us) a planning application has been made Consents Approved – we are aware (or the customer has told us) the planning application has been approved
Example	Scoping

Title	Project No
Type	string
Description	Unique Project Identifier
Comment	If there is more than one Stage the Project number will be followed by a dash and the relevant stage number.
