What it contains

Northern Ireland's national open data portal - the primary publication route for NIEA/DAERA water datasets, NISRA statistics, health, transport, planning and boundary data. Hosts the WMU water datasets that DAERA no longer publishes directly.

When you need it

Not yet mapped to a project stage. The stage axis is a first pass against a draft matrix, and a record with no stage means nobody has placed it rather than that it is useful at none.

Protocol
CKAN 2.x Action API (JSON)
Endpoint
https://www.opendatani.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_search
Harvest note
Yes in principle - CKAN Action API is standard and paginated note recorded in the machine_endpoint field: CKAN Action API at and /package_list Link check 2026-09-08: automated check blocked by the host; not verified. opendatani.gov.uk robots.txt returned HTTP 500 - unverifiable by crawler, but portal confirmed live in search index.

Caveats

Serves a broken robots.txt (HTTP 500), which blocks well-behaved crawlers and WebFetch - harvest via the CKAN API directly with an explicit user agent, or use the data.gov.uk mirror. CONTAINS NO GEOTHERMAL DATASET AT ALL. Geology is absent because GSNI publishes through BGS infrastructure, not Open Data NI.

Could not be checked On 2026-09-08 the holder's site refused the automated request. That is bot protection, not evidence the link is broken, and not evidence it works. Checked by automated request, not in a browser. A site can answer a script and still fail for a reader, so treat this as a weak signal.
