Description

statcan_indicator

Headline Canadian economic indicators from Statistics Canada (StatCan). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "Canada inflation / CPI", "Canadian unemployment rate", "Canada GDP". Friendly names: cpi (=inflation), unemployment, gdp. Returns the latest value plus recent history. For anything else use statcan_series with a vector id.

statcan_series

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_list_cubes

List all 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. Response is large (~3,000 cubes); filter client-side.

statcan_cube_metadata

Full metadata for a StatCan cube: dimensions, member trees, frequency, geography, last release. Use it to construct a coordinate string for statcan_cube_data.

statcan_cube_data

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_changed_series

List StatCan series that changed (new release) on a given date (default today). Useful to detect updated cubes for scheduled refreshes.

statcan_csv_url

Return the StatCan-hosted URL for a full cube as a CSV download (doesn't fetch the file — hands back a direct URL).
