`catalog_browse`

Pack: cbs-il · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/catalog_browse for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Browse the CBS time-series catalog. With no subject_id, returns the top-level subjects (Foreign Trade, Population, Balance of Payments, Consumer Price Index, etc.) — each with a numeric path id. Pass that id back as subject_id to drill into a subject’s full set of leaf series paths. The catalog is hierarchical; each catalog entry has a ‘path’ breadcrumb array and a ‘name’. Use this to discover what’s available before calling get_series_data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`subject_id`	integer	no	Top-level subject id (from a no-arg call, e.g. 8 = Foreign Trade, 2 = Population). Omit to list the top-level subjects.
`page`	integer	no	Page number for paginated leaf lists (default 1, page size 100).
`lang`	string	no	Content language. Default “en”.

Example call

Arguments
