Global Forest Watch Dataset Catalogue with Licences and Citations (Global Nature Watch)
gfwdataapi/datasets
One page of the Global Forest Watch Data API's dataset catalogue (World Resources Institute, now Global Nature Watch): for each dataset its name, title, source, licence, citation, overview, update frequency, coverage and version names. Metadata only; the data inside the datasets is not returned. Only datasets whose own licence is an open Creative Commons licence (BY or BY-SA) are listed: the others, including those with no licence stated or a non-commercial one, are left out and counted in withheld_for_licence, so a page can hold fewer records than its size, or none. Give a page size, 1 to 100, and a page number for later pages; meta and links describe the full unfiltered list. A page past the last is refused as a validation error. Data of the Global Forest Watch Data API, passed through as published and served by Eden Engine; not an official Global Forest Watch product.
