Montréal Open Data Search: Datasets by Keyword, Publisher and Licence

montrealopendata/search-datasets

Searches the City of Montréal open data portal (donnees.montreal.ca) for datasets matching your search terms and returns the total match count plus, for each dataset on the requested page, its title, description, publisher, declared licence, tags, resources and download links. Catalogue records only, not the data files; titles are mostly French. Data of the Ville de Montréal under CC BY 4.0, served by Eden Engine; not an official Ville de Montréal product.
