§ coverage

Where it works, and where it does not.

Every capability, the datasets behind it, and the gaps we have not closed. This page is generated from the same source registry the API answers from, so it cannot claim a capability that has no registered dataset.

Dates are recorded when a pipeline runs or a person checks, not observed live. A source can be stale in the world while reading current here. The status words are computed in your browser from those dates, so they say what the API says rather than what was true the day this page was built.

Licence terms and known gaps are written by us and appear in both languages. Publisher and dataset names appear as their custodian publishes them, so a title you read here is the one to search for on their portal.
