statcan_codeset

Pack: statcan · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/statcan/mcp

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

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), subject (StatCan’s ~622-entry subject-matter classification), survey (the ~900 StatCan surveys that produce the data), classification type, security level, symbol, and terminated-series flags. Use this to decode a frequencyCode/scalarFactorCode/statusCode/uomCode/subjectCode seen elsewhere in this pack’s output, or to browse the subject/survey taxonomy. Returns the full set (English by default); pass codeset to fetch just one.
