# d4c-api-statistical
# d4c-api
A multi-language client for accessing Canadian statistical web data. This repository provides a unified interface to fetch statistical data processed by the [d4c-datapkg-statistical](https://github.com/dataforcanada/d4c-datapkg-statistical) repository.
A multi-language client for accessing Canadian data. This repository provides a unified interface to fetch:
- Statistical data processed by the [d4c-datapkg-statistical](https://github.com/dataforcanada/d4c-datapkg-statistical) repository.
## Purpose
The goal of this project is to provide a consistent way to query statistical metadata and raw tables across different programming environments. As the connectivity and retrieval layer for the **Data for Canada (d4c)** project, this API facilitates access to a decentralized, cloud-native open data infrastructure for Canada.

As the connectivity and retrieval layer for the **Data for Canada (d4c)** project, this API facilitates access to a decentralized, cloud-native open data infrastructure for Canada.
## Core Technologies
The client is designed to interface with modern data distribution protocols:
- **[STAC](https://stac-geoparquet.org/) & [GeoZarr](https://github.com/zarr-developers/geozarr-spec):** For metadata discovery and high-performance multidimensional data access.
- **HTTP Seeding & BitTorrent:** For decentralized data distribution and efficient retrieval.
- **[STAC](https://stac-geoparquet.org/) for metadata discovery.
- **[GeoZarr](https://github.com/zarr-developers/geozarr-spec):** Fo high-performance multidimensional data access.
- **HTTP & P2P:** For decentralized data distribution and efficient retrieval.
