description: 'Best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 description of the Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA) Data Catalog
API. The catalog runs on the standard CKAN platform, which exposes its functionality at
`/api/3/action/{action_name}` using both GET and POST. CKAN actions are described in the
CKAN Action API documentation.
All CA Data Catalog actions are publicly readable; write actions require an `Authorization`
header carrying a CKAN API token (obtained from the CKAN user profile).
