Hi allWe would like to have a data type “URL” for our datasets. I have found a setting for the licenses that we can freely add and remove, but I haven’t found one for data types. There are datatypes that we never use (JSON, IP-address), and others that we would like to have, such as URL.Where can we add new data types in the backoffice?Or do we need Huwise to add that? If so, the base type of URL should be a string. Our dataportal is here: data.bs.ch Best regardsRenato

I’ve been investigating options for accessing the data on our portal using AI assistants, mainly Claude code. I previously posted my experience of a REST to MCP adapter, which works, but is a bit clunky and not very token efficient. I have recently experimented with a new library called mcp2cli which enables the coding agent to use CLI commands to query data on our portal.MCP2CLI can create a skill which introspects the swagger.json  - which is published under the portal’s API tab, to understand the explore API of the portal. This enables the coding agent to discover datasets, understand their structure and create SQL queries to return filtered and aggregated data. The skill is an alternative approach to MCP servers that is more token efficient due to progressive disclosure and the use of a command line interface to query the data. I iterated over creation of the ski

Is there a way to search for all the visualizations on a portal?  I had a look at the sitemap.xml file and can’t see any references to the the visualizations  

You manage a data portal. You know your data, your users, your workflows. But when someone mentions “API calls” or “REST endpoints,” you feel like you’ve crossed into developer territory.What if you could talk to your Huwise APIs the way you talk to a colleague? That’s exactly what Claude Code makes possible. No programming experience required.This guide walks you through setting up Claude Code to work with Huwise APIs, running your first real task, and keeping costs under control. What Is Claude Code?Claude Code is a command-line assistant made by Anthropic. You type what you want in plain language, and it figures out the technical details — including making API calls, reading responses, and chaining multiple steps together.Think of it as having a developer sitting next to you who never gets tired of your questions.You can run it:In your terminal (Mac, Windows, Linux) In VS Code or JetBrains as an extension

We would like a way for our users to favorite a dataset, as well as provided feed back as to what they liked about it.

We are setting up a process to update the resources for our datasets using the Automation API. I am looking for best practice advice. Here is what we currently do, starting with a dataset_id and a file that we want to upload: Retrieve the dataset_uid using the endpoint /api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/{dataset_id}. Retrieve the currently used resource_uid of the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources, with the dataset_uid from step 1. Upload the file to the dataset using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/files, again using the dataset_uid from step 1. From the response I get the file_uid of the uploaded file. Update the dataset resource using the endpoint /api/automation/v1.0/datasets/{dataset_uid}/resources/{resource_

Hi everyone,I regularly use the "Analysis" tab to create visualizations on our datasets, and I encounter two unexpected behaviors when switching from Standard Mode to Advanced Mode. This limits the customization of our charts.I would like to share these two cases to see if other users are experiencing them or if an improvement is planned:1. Missing Breakdown options In Standard mode, I have access to a full list of options for my data breakdown.However, as soon as I click on "Edit in advanced mode", some of these breakdown options disappear from the dropdown menu and are no longer selectable.  2. Redundant label

Users sometimes report confusion in Huwise around configuring processors.We just updated the documentation for a specific processor to help make it clear, but here’s the key thing to understand about processing and types: The bottom line — processors run before types are appliedWhat you see in the interface may reflect the schema type, but processors still run on the original source value until typing is applied at the end. Source data is ingested (raw values) Processors run on those raw values Schema types are applied afterward In more detailHuwise runs processors on source values before schema typing is applied. This means the value displayed in the int

Hello,Is it possible to get a descending order by date using the OdsDatasetContext widget in a custom view ?I have tried something like below :<ods-dataset-context context="ctx" ctx-dataset="own_base"   ctx-parameters="{'sort':'-start_date'}">[...]</ods-dataset-context>but it’s not a success…Thank you for your help.

HiI’m working on accessibility fixes for a client who is using a portal theme.Apparently, many of the issues originate from the portal theme. So I would need to edit the HTML in many places, and in some cases even add JavaScript.Currently, I can’t find any way to change the HTML, and I saw in the documentation that adding JavaScript isn’t allowed for security reasons, which I understand.So I was looking into how I can contribute to the theme, but I can’t seem to find how to do that. That’s why I opened this topic.Thanks for the feedback.Matthias

We are evaluating our move to the marketplace experience and support have been wonderful in helping achieve some of our goals that we’ve always wanted.One, is to have a couple of feeds on the front page showing the latest datasets but also latest publications (a new asset category we have created).Supports suggestion was to setup a couple of new contexts fed from a dataset of datasets. Which weve done and got so far but realised a dataset of datasets is just that. datasets only. Not assets. Also looking at the API I cannot see a way to actually query the asset catalogue. Question is: Has anyone successfully implemented a feed of various assets powered by the catalogue itself and not having to maintain a separate dataset? Attached is my current code block that reads from a dataset of datasets and incorporates the suggestions from support. Although the refine.category doesnt work as dataset of datasets doesnt include anything but datasets and also no catego

Dear Support Team,we have received the following request from a user regarding dataset https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100120/, which we would like to forward to you for further investigation.The user reports an inconsistency in the handling of the field vu_jahr: The field is defined as a date in the dataset schema. However, when exporting the dataset, the field appears to be delivered as a string. When querying the dataset via ODSQL (using a SELECT vu_jahr GROUP BY vu_jahr query), the result returns proper datetime values (e.g. 2011-01-01 00:00:00+00:00, etc.). This inconsistent behavior causes issues in the user’s synchronization process. While they have implemented a workaround on their side, they asked whether th

Hi allI’ve been using Claude Code quite a lot for developing software and doing analysis. It’s an agentic AI coding assistant in the CLI if you haven’t come across it. Anthropic (the parent company) developed a protocol called MCP to help the AI use external resources like APIs.Someone has developed a tool to take openapi or swagger API specifications and turn it into MCP tools. What this means is that you can ask Claude Code, in natural language, questions about your data, and it will translate this, quite well into code to send a request to the API and return data. HuWise have done something similar on the portal in their “Explore data with AI” feature, but this is a bit more powerful for deeper analysis - but re

Hi all,If a dataset contains both a geopoint and a geoshape, is there anyway to select which will be displayed when you add it onto a map for example ? By default it seems to show the shapes Thanks RyanAuto-translation 🪄Bonjour à tous,Si un ensemble de données contient à la fois un géopoint et une géoforme, est-il possible de sélectionner celui qui sera affiché lorsque vous l'ajouterez sur une carte par exemple ?

Hello,I have a dataset with a “date” variable and I would like to dynamically assign the start date of my graph as the last date in my dataset -20 years. I can use an ods-adv-analysis to obtain the latest date in my dataset, but I can't subtract 20 years from it. Furthermore, I can hardcode the start date, but not using a dynamic variable:<div ods-adv-analysis="maxdate" ods-adv-analysis-context="pibcroissancetrimestre" ods-adv-analysis-select="max(date) as maxdate" > {{last_date = maxdate[0].maxdate; ""}} {{last_date}} {{ pibcroissancetrimestre.parameters['q.from_date.date'] = 'date>=2005-09-30T00:00:00+00:00 '; ""}}Can someone help me fix this code?Thanks in advanceNathan

HelloWhen I add a territory for a dataset, and retrieve the dataset through the API, then I get a random code (e.g. ch_80_2477 ). It is quite cumbersome to map these by hand, but I’ve done it for ~10 cities and regions. Now, we have a new dataset with a lot more territories, and it would be cumbersome (and unnecessary, honestly), to map these by hand. Where can I find a list with all of these codes, so that I can import them and use them in my code? Do these follow a public standard?Thank you!

Hi All,We currently have a document library on our website, however we have had feedback from customers that its not easy to navigate.As a result we are exploring the possibility of using our Open Data Portal as a home of a new “Technical Library” containing 200+ pdfs etc of supporting documents. Now it seems that after about 80 additional attachments I cant add anymore. As a DNO, we are very cautious around data security so essentially I need a solution where the documents can be stored on the Portal itself in an ideal world, because using options like github, sharepoint etc arent really viable as getting permission would likely be a dead end.Anyone got any ideas or examples of similar resources? Potential to spilt the attachments over multiple datasets but that becomes a bit of a nightmare to maintain/policeThanksRyan

Hello, I can see that the region ID - Name used for Japan in OpenDataSoft follows the FIPS standard. I also see in different sources that FIPS is no more used since 2008. Do we know why OpenDataSoft is still using this norm ? is there a way they could update to use one of the used norms in the whole world now ( JIS X 0401 or ISO )

In the past we were able to draw a polygon in a geographical map (e.g. Germany Postal Codes). This was used to extract a specific list of postal codes and areas based on the polygon. Right now it does not seem to be possible to draw those polygons on the map anymore. Is there a way around it or a possibility in the future again? 

Hello,I am a student and currently working on a data project that involves the use of public datasets hosted on this platform, specifically: OSM France – Parking Area OSM France – Public Service I would like to access these datasets programmatically via your API, but I am unable to locate or generate an API key from my account.Could you please grant me API access or guide me on how to obtain the necessary API key for these datasets?If it requires approval from a workspace administrator, please let me know the appropriate steps or contact.Thank you very much for your time and assistance.Kind regards,Chleo Hinn
