Overview
The Datasets API is an HTTP API for programmatically browsing and querying datasets based on metadata attributes. Metadata consists of properties, which describe each dataset’s entities, and their values. Learn more about metadata for datasets.
The resulting data can be added to a CGC project for further analysis. Learn more about accessing data from the Datasets API.
