open_information_links

Open Information (FOI) public artifacts, links

Links to B.C. Open Information artifacts: the completed FOI requests page, the weekly open-requests status spreadsheet, the ministerial directives, the FOIPPA annual reports and the FOI statistics catalogue entry. Released FOI records themselves are not indexed: they are reachable only through gov.bc.ca search, which is closed to automated agents. Links and titles only; no content is reproduced.

Cost: 1 unit of your allowance (see Rate limits).

Parameters

  • query (string, optional): min length 1, max length 80
  • kind (page, weekly_status, directive, annual_report, dataset, optional)
  • limit (integer, optional): min 1, max 50, default 20
