DataShield MCP Dataset Library

ArcGIS Hub / Open Data

Add ArcGIS open data portals and dataset URLs.

What it supports

  • Dataset URLs like:
    • https://data-usdot.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/<slug>/about
  • Portal roots (discovery):
    • https://geodata.bts.gov/
    • The crawler uses the portal’s /api/search/v1 endpoint to enumerate datasets.

Notes

  • Many ArcGIS sites use custom domains. Provider detection includes a fast probe to confirm ArcGIS Open Data.
  • Ingestion uses the ArcGIS Hub API to pull structured metadata and resource links.

Tips

  • Start with a single dataset URL to validate crawling.
  • Then add the portal root to discover many datasets.
  • Tune RPS/concurrency if you hit throttling.
