FAQ

Questions Open Data BCN owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I perform SQL queries on Barcelona's public datasets?

    Yes, you can use the bcn_datastore_search_sql capability to execute SELECT statements directly against any resource that is stored in the portal's datastore.

  • 02

    How do I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'transport'?

    Use the bcn_package_search capability with the query parameter q set to your topic. You can also limit the number of results for faster browsing.

  • 03

    Is it possible to see the actual rows of a CSV file without downloading it?

    Absolutely. The bcn_datastore_search capability allows you to query and preview the contents of a resource directly, including filtering and sorting options.
