data.gov (CKAN catalog)

The U.S. federal open data catalog at catalog.data.gov, powered by the open-source CKAN platform. The CKAN Action API at https://catalog.data.gov/api/3/action/ exposes dataset metadata (package_search, package_show, package_list), organization listings (organization_list, organization_show), groups, tags, and resource records. data.gov holds only metadata about datasets, not the underlying data — each dataset entry links out to the publishing agency's authoritative resource URLs (CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, Shapefile, SODA, REST).
