City, Gdańsk vs City, Nantes Open Data

City, Gdańsk

Otwarty Gdańsk (Open Gdańsk) runs a standard CKAN 2.x installation; a live keyless GET against `ckan.multimediagdansk.pl/api/3/action/package_search` returned full JSON dataset metadata with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header on both the plain response and an OPTIONS preflight. The catalogue covers Gdańsk municipal transit, budget, and environmental datasets, with individual resources downloadable as CSV, JSON, or XLSX depending on the publisher.

City, Nantes Open Data

Nantes Métropole's open-data portal runs OpenDataSoft; the stored record's `API Key` requirement is stale — a live keyless GET against the v2.1 Explore API (`data.nantesmetropole.fr/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets`) returned full JSON catalogue metadata with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, and dataset exports in GeoJSON and CSV worked the same way with no key. An API key is only required for OpenDataSoft's write/administration endpoints, not for reading the catalogue's 590+ datasets.
