Tools

• statcan_changed_series ~102 tokens
  List StatCan series that changed (new release) on a given date (default today). Useful to detect updated cubes for scheduled refreshes.
• statcan_codeset ~340 tokens
  StatCan's reference code sets (WDS getCodeSets) — the lookup tables every cube's metadata refers to by numeric/short code: frequency (monthly/annual/…), scalar factor (units/thousands/millions), status (footnote codes like 'not available for a specific period'), unit of measure (uom, ~465 units), su
• statcan_csv_url ~126 tokens
  Return the StatCan-hosted URL for a full cube as a CSV download (doesn't fetch the file — hands back a direct URL).
• statcan_cube_data ~215 tokens
  Latest N observations for a specific series within a StatCan cube. coordinate is a 10-position dot-separated string indexing each dimension (map members → positions via statcan_cube_metadata). Trailing zeros for unused dimensions.
• statcan_cube_metadata ~165 tokens
  Full metadata for a StatCan cube: dimensions, member trees, frequency, geography, last release. Use it to construct a coordinate string for statcan_cube_data. Does NOT return vector IDs — for that use statcan_cube_vectors, which enumerates the actual vector id for every dimension-member combination
• statcan_cube_vectors ~477 tokens
  Enumerate the vector IDs inside a StatCan cube (table) — the missing link between a table number/name (e.g. "32-10-0121-01" or "Production and disposition of eggs") and statcan_series, which needs a specific vector id. Every StatCan question starts with a table, but nothing else in this pack lists a
• statcan_indicator ~338 tokens
  Headline Canadian indicators from Statistics Canada (StatCan): CPI/inflation, unemployment rate, GDP, and quarterly population estimates for Canada or any province/territory. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "Canada inflation / CPI", "Canadian unemployment rate", "Canada GDP", "population of Canada / Onta
• statcan_list_cubes ~264 tokens
  List available StatCan cubes (tables) — lean: productId + title (en/fr) + CANSIM id + dimension count + release date. Use the productId with statcan_cube_metadata / statcan_cube_data. StatCan has ~8,000 cubes and its endpoint has no paging of its own, so this tool pages for you: pass `title` to sear
• statcan_series ~193 tokens
  Fetch any Statistics Canada series by its numeric vector id (e.g. 41690973 = CPI all-items) — escape hatch for the full StatCan catalogue. Find vector ids at www150.statcan.gc.ca (table/cube pages list their vectors). Returns recent observations + series title.
• statcan_table ~524 tokens
  Whole StatCan table (or a filtered slice) in ONE call, from a local Pipeworx copy of the table — full history, every coordinate, member labels included, instead of one coordinate per call. Use this instead of statcan_cube_data when the question spans more than one coordinate ("compare all provinces"
