Inventory.data.gov CKAN API is one of 4 APIs that [Data.gov](https://apis.io/providers/data-gov/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Catalog, CKAN, Publishers, and Inventory. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Inventory.data.gov is a second CKAN instance (also running CKAN 2.11) used by federal agencies as a publishing inventory before public release on catalog.data.gov. Most actions require authorization, but the same CKAN Action API surface is available at /api/3/action for authenticated publishers to manage their agency's dataset inventory.
