All 90 tools, one by one.

Unified search across Ecuador open data, trámites, regulations, contracts and risk events. Use this as the first step for broad questions. Then drill down with get_dataset_info, query_resource_data, get_tramite_info, get_regulacion_info, get_contrato_info or search_eventos_riesgo.

Look up Ecuador DPA geography: provinces, cantons and parroquias (INEC codes). - nivel='provincia' | 'canton' | 'parroquia' | 'auto' - For parroquias, filter with canton= and/or provincia= (recommended)

Search for datasets on Ecuador's open data portal (www.datosabiertos.gob.ec). This is the starting point for exploring government data from 98+ public institutions. Use short, specific queries in Spanish for best results. Typical workflow: search_datasets → list_dataset_resources → preview_resource_data

Get detailed metadata about a specific dataset from Ecuador's open data portal. Returns title, description, organization, tags, resource count, creation/update dates, license, update frequency, the publisher's source URL (where the entity keeps the authoritative data, if any), and any custom metadata fields the publisher added.

List all resources (files) in a dataset with their metadata. Returns resource ID, title, format, size, download URL, and creation/ last-modified dates for each file. The dates let you tell whether a dataset's files are periodic snapshots (compare last_modified across resources to find the most recent one) before reading any of them. Also flags groups of resources whose names look like a periodic series (e.g. weekly files) — that's only a hint that they might need combining or picking the latest one; it does not tell you which, since that depends on the dataset (some periodic files replace previous ones, others complement them). Next step: use preview_resource_data on a CSV resource to see its contents, or use get_resource_info for detailed metadata.

Get detailed information about a specific resource (file) from Ecuador's open data portal. Returns format, size, MIME type, download URL, and dataset association. For CSV files, you can then use preview_resource_data to see the actual data.

Download and preview a resource from Ecuador's open data portal. Supports CSV/TSV, JSON/GeoJSON, Excel (XLS/XLSX/XLSB), ODS, and .zip or .tar.gz wrapping a CSV/TSV/TXT. Returns the first N rows as a formatted table so the model can inspect data without a local download. Geometry/WKT columns are dropped from the table (they can be tens of KB per cell); CSV columns in European decimal notation (7.760,2) are normalized to standard notation (7760.2). Max download size: 5 MB. For large tabular DataStore resources prefer query_resource_data.

Download a resource's raw bytes from Ecuador's open data portal, base64-encoded. Use this for formats preview_resource_data can't parse into a table (.rar or anything unrecognized) — it fetches the file as-is instead of trying to read it. Max size: 5 MB (same cap as preview_resource_data). Larger files come back with an error and the direct URL instead, since they'd be too big to embed in a response. Call with format="json" to get the actual file content — the default format="text" only confirms the download and never includes content_base64.

Query a tabular resource via CKAN DataStore without downloading the full file. Prefer this over preview_resource_data when the resource is in the DataStore (most CSV resources on the portal). Supports full-text query, JSON filters, sorting and pagination.

When a dataset publishes one file per period (weekly/monthly), it's not always clear whether each new file replaces the previous ones (cumulative -- only the newest file matters) or complements them (incremental -- every file must be combined). Downloads the two most recent resources from the periodic-name group list_dataset_resources already detects, finds a date/period-like column by header name (fecha, mes, año, periodo, semana, ...), and compares which period values appear in both files. High overlap → cumulative; near-zero overlap → incremental; if no period column is found or the overlap is ambiguous, returns indeterminado rather than guessing. A heuristic over a sample of up to 500 rows per file -- confirm with preview_resource_data if the result is close to the threshold.

Search for government procedures (trámites) on Ecuador's official portal gob.ec. Best approach: provide an institution_id to get that institution's trámites. Add a query to filter results by keyword (filters by name and description). When query is provided with institution_id, ALL pages of that institution's trámites are fetched and filtered, so you always get the most relevant results. Common institution IDs: - "8" = SRI (Servicio de Rentas Internas) — impuestos, RUC, facturación - "23" = Registro Civil — cédula, partidas de nacimiento - "62" = ANT — licencias de conducir, matriculación vehicular - "16" = Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores — pasaportes, apostilla - "5" = IESS — seguro social, pensiones, fondos de reserva Use list_instituciones to find more institution IDs.

Get detailed information about a specific government procedure (trámite). Returns the procedure name, description, requirements, beneficiaries, cost, and the institution responsible. Get the tramite_id from search_tramites.

Monthly usage and complaint series (atenciones/quejas) for one specific trámite. Different from get_tramite_info: this is how many people were actually attended each month, and how many complaints were filed, since gob.ec started publishing this (mid-2021). Get tramite_id from search_tramites. There is no bulk endpoint -- this fetches one trámite's series at a time (currently a few dozen months, no pagination needed).

List or search public institutions registered on Ecuador's gob.ec portal. If a query is provided, searches across all institutions by name or acronym. Without a query, returns a paginated list. Common institutions: SRI (ID: 8), Registro Civil (ID: 23), ANT (ID: 62), Cancillería (ID: 16), IESS (ID: 5), Ministerio de Salud, INEC, BCE.

Get detailed information about a public institution registered on gob.ec. Returns name, acronym, sector, description, website and portal URL. Get the institucion_id from list_instituciones. Common IDs: SRI=8, IESS=5, Registro Civil=23, ANT=62, Cancillería=16.

Search INEC's ANDA catalog (anda.inec.gob.ec) of surveys and censuses. ANDA runs on NADA (World Bank/IHSN), separate from datosabiertos.gob.ec. It catalogs 437+ INEC surveys/censuses with metadata (title, year, authoring entity). Not every entry has downloadable microdata — many are aggregate-only publications (e.g. price indices); each result says so. Follow up with get_anda_survey_info(idno) for full metadata on one survey.

Get full metadata for one ANDA (INEC) survey/census by its idno. Get the idno from search_anda results — it's the string identifier (e.g. "IDD-ECU-INEC-CGTPE-DECON-ENESEM-2023-v1.3"), not the numeric id. Returns scope/abstract, variable count, whether microdata is actually downloadable, confidentiality terms, and a contact email for requesting restricted data when it isn't.

Get direct download links for an ANDA survey's microdata files. Automates ANDA's one-click usage-terms step (research/statistical use only, no re-identifying respondents, cite the source — see get_anda_survey_info for the full text) to reveal the file list. Check get_anda_survey_info first: aggregate-only surveys (microdatos_disponibles false) have no files here. Returns direct URLs, not the file contents — the files are typically multi-MB ZIPs (SPSS .sav inside), too large to embed in a tool result. Download them with the returned URL.

Search the Banco Central del Ecuador (BCE) statistical catalog. Covers monetary/financial statistics, public finances, external sector (foreign trade), and real sector (GDP, employment/ unemployment, consumer confidence, oil production, cement production, and more) — each result is an indicator group (id_grupo) whose time series data you fetch with get_indicador_bce. Some groups hold a single series, others dozens under a broader title (e.g. "desempleo" is a series inside the "mercado laboral" group, not a group of its own — matched here too, not just group titles). Does NOT cover Ecuador's own inflation (CPI) or poverty statistics — those are INEC's domain, try search_anda instead. First call after the cache expires (24h) takes ~10-15s: matching against series names, not just group titles, means fetching every group's metadata (~78 groups) once to build the search index. Cached after that.

Time series data for one Banco Central del Ecuador (BCE) indicator group. Use search_indicadores_bce first to find the id_grupo. Frequency and unit vary by group (e.g. "Mensual"/"Millones de USD" for money supply, "Trimestral"/"Porcentaje" for GDP growth) — omit them to get the group's default, or check the error message for the valid options if you guess wrong.

Search Ecuador's company registry (Superintendencia de Compañías). Covers 226k+ companies with legal status, incorporation date, legal representative, registered capital, economic activity (CIIU) and address. Source is a daily-refreshed government export, cached up to 6h server-side — the first call after the cache expires can take ~30-40s to download and parse (~35 MB, 226k rows).

Get full registry details for a company by RUC (Superintendencia de Compañías). Returns legal status, incorporation date, legal representative, registered capital, economic activity (CIIU), address and last balance-sheet year. Use search_companias first if you don't have the exact RUC.

Rank/filter Supercías companies by financial indicators for a fiscal year. Filter by year and/or CIIU level-1 economic activity (single letter, e.g. "C" for manufacturing), sorted by any indicator column (defaults to the dataset's own precomputed posicion_general). Each result includes the company's nombre/ruc alongside its financials. Covers the last five fiscal years in the local build, not the full history. Use get_financials for one company's full detail, or get_compania_info for legal/registry data (address, legal representative, etc.).

Get a company's financial history from Supercías balance-sheet filings. Returns revenue, assets, equity, profit, employee count, and financial ratios (liquidity, leverage, profitability) per fiscal year. Covers the last five fiscal years in the local build (see metadatos.base_local for its build date and year range), not the full history back to 2008. Complements get_compania_info, which has legal/registry data but no financials.

Search Ecuador's registry of authorized external auditors (Superintendencia de Compañías). Covers the 1,447 firms/individuals licensed to act as external auditors, with their authorization resolution number/date and contact details. Source is a daily-refreshed government export, cached up to 6h server-side.

Get full registry details for an authorized external auditor by identificación (Superintendencia de Compañías). Returns authorization resolution number/date, nationality, address and contact details. Use search_auditores first if you don't have the exact identificación (RUC/cédula).

Search or list regulations published on Ecuador's gob.ec portal. Includes agreements, regulations and related norms with Registro Oficial references when available. With a query, scans several pages client-side (the API has no native search). Without a query, returns a paginated list.

Get detailed information about a regulation published on gob.ec. Returns type, Registro Oficial reference, description and PDF/archivo URL when available. Get the regulacion_id from search_regulaciones.

Search Ecuador public procurement procedures (SERCOP / OCDS open data). Useful for journalists, researchers and citizens looking for contracts, tenders, buyers or suppliers. Requires a keyword of at least 3 characters. Year defaults to the current calendar year and falls back to prior years when year=0. Results are cached ~30 minutes; on 429 the client cools down.

Get the full OCDS record for a public procurement procedure (SERCOP). Returns buyer, tender, awards, contracts and useful links when available. Get the ocid from search_contratos.

Search emergency/risk events from Ecuador's SGR COE (Gestión de Riesgos). Returns recent recorded events such as landslides, floods, structural damage, with province/canton, status (Seguimiento/Cierre), impacts and description. Data comes from the public ArcGIS COE2 service (cached ~5 minutes).

List tsunami early-warning SAT stations published by SGR (Gestión de Riesgos). Returns station codes and coordinates from the public SAT MapServer.

Search recent earthquakes in Ecuador from the Instituto Geofísico (IG-EPN). Returns the IG-EPN seismic catalog feed: magnitude, depth, coordinates, local/UTC time, review status and nearest-place description, with a link to each event page. Data is cached ~2 minutes.

Lists SGR's SITREP ("Informes de Situación") archive of adverse-event dossiers, 2016-2026. A different source from search_eventos_riesgo, which reads a live ArcGIS snapshot of current events only. Lists about 54 multi-year dossiers — earthquakes, forest-fire seasons, rainy seasons, landslides, volcanic activity — each with a status and its own page. Follow up with get_sgr_sitrep_archivos(url).

Lists the SITREP PDF report links published on one SGR adverse-event page. Returns each report's grupo (the page's own section heading, e.g. national vs. provincial vs. cantonal), título, and direct PDF URL. A long-running event can carry 700+ PDFs; a closed single-incident event usually has far fewer.

Search for public institutions that publish data on Ecuador's open data portal. There are 98+ organizations including INEC, SRI, Ministerio de Salud, BCE, etc.

Get detailed information about a public institution and its published datasets — the main way to browse a CKAN organization's full package list, including large ones with no dedicated tool of their own (e.g. "sri-servicio-de-rentas-internas" —127 packages—, "ministerio-de-economia-y-finanzas" —97—, "ieps" —106—, "cosede" —88—, "ipaip" —70—, "mag" —69—; get the exact slug from search_organizations first if unsure). format=json always returns every dataset; format=text caps display and tells you how many more exist — use query to narrow a large organization down instead of scrolling past the cap.

List all thematic categories of Ecuador's open data portal. Categories include: Salud, Educación, Economía y Finanzas, Seguridad y Defensa, Anticorrupción, Ambiente y Agua, Transporte, Turismo, and more. Each category shows the number of datasets it contains. Use the category 'name' field as the 'category' parameter in search_datasets to filter results by topic.

Get details for a thematic category (CKAN group) on Ecuador's open data portal. Use list_categories first to discover valid category IDs (the 'name' field, e.g. 'salud', 'educacion', 'economia-y-finanzas').

Inspect one official XLSX table from the latest BCE IEM bulletin. Get table_id from search_bce_iem. Tables with the common BCE layout (periods across columns and variables down rows) return structured, date-filterable series. Other layouts return a faithful preview rather than silently guessing columns. Always includes the BCE file and bulletin URLs for verification. Pass boletin_numero to retrieve a historical version returned by search_bce_iem(historico=true).

Fetch one BCE daily/monthly indicator's time series (e.g. Riesgo País), bounded to a window — never the full series (some run 7,000+ observations). Get archivo/codigo from list_bce_indicadores_diarios first — a codigo only means one thing within its own archivo. Without desde/hasta, returns the most recent ultimos_n observations (capped at 366). With desde/hasta (YYYY-MM-DD, inclusive), returns that date range instead, also capped at 366 rows (most recent within the range if it's larger). The response always includes rango_completo (the series' true full date range and row count) so the window returned is never mistaken for the whole series. Each point in "datos" has "valor" (one number) for almost every indicator, except Inflación (datos_ipc.json), which has no single value — its points carry "valores": {"Mensual":..., "Anual":..., "Acumulada":...} instead.

List BCE's family of daily/monthly "indicador" widgets published outside both BCEData and IEM (contenido.bce.fin.ec's Highcharts widget pages) — includes Riesgo País (EMBI) as a genuine daily series back to 2004, which BCEData only exposes as a monthly end-of-period aggregate. Also covers: Precio del Oro, Petróleo WTI, Índice Dow Jones, Tasa SOFR/LIBOR, Ecuador sovereign bond prices (all daily); Sistema de Pagos/Cobros Interbancarios, Sistema de Pagos en Línea, Cámara de Compensación de Cheques (monthly); Producción Petrolera Nacional (daily); inflación, desempleo, confianza del consumidor, PIB (monthly/quarterly/annual, likely duplicates BCEData). The catalog is discovered live from each file's own data, not hardcoded — a "codigo" only means one thing within its own "archivo", not across files. Follow up with get_bce_indicador_diario(archivo, codigo) for one series.

Search individual Excel tables in the BCE's latest IEM bulletin. Use this for detailed BCE tables not conveniently available through search_indicadores_bce/BCEData: trade by country, debt, public finance by government level, oil, GDP breakdowns, and more. It lists tables from the current monthly bulletin; use get_bce_iem_table with a returned table_id to inspect one official XLSX file. Set historico=true (or provide desde_anio/hasta_anio) to search across all matching monthly bulletin pages; this is slower on the first call because the archive pages must be read. Set guardar_catalogo=true to persist the complete catalog assembled by this search under IEM_CATALOG_DIR (or data/iem_catalog_snapshots by default). Pagination still keeps the MCP response bounded. Set hash_archivos=true for an operator-style SHA-256 audit of the discovered XLSX files. This downloads complete files, so it is deliberately opt-in and bounded by max_hash_archivos.

List BCE's Remesas de Trabajadores (worker remittances) direct file links. A dedicated series separate from BCEData/IEM (search_indicadores_bce, search_bce_iem): the aggregate flow series, the full historical series, a methodology user note, and — since a July 2025 change to microdata-based collection — monthly aggregate and entity-level databases (BDD). Treat "histórica" (pre-change) and "BDD" (post-change) files as methodologically distinct series, not one continuous one — see the user note (Nota_al_usuario) for the comparability details. Returns direct URLs, not file contents — download them yourself or via download_resource.

Lists recent Central Bank of Ecuador publications from its "Últimas Publicaciones" feed — monetary bulletins, interest-rate reports, sector-analysis bulletins, IEM release notices, and more. A dedicated catalog separate from BCEData/IEM (search_indicadores_bce, search_bce_iem) — most of what appears here has no numeric-series equivalent there. Only shows the rolling window the page itself displays (roughly the 30 most recent publications) — no pagination or date-range filter.

Lists BCE's disaggregated foreign-trade price-index file links — import prices by economic-use category and export prices by individual product (crude oil, shrimp, banana, cacao, copper, gold, roses), each with separate price/value/volume sheets and variation sheets. Distinct from search_indicadores_bce's BCEData catalog (only three aggregate series) and from search_bce_paginas (doesn't cover trade prices). Returns direct URLs, not file contents.

Search BCE's own statistical publication calendar — scheduled release dates for IEM, Cuentas Nacionales, IMAEC, balance of payments, and more, each with category, periodicity, reference period, and a direct link to the publication's page. Distinct from search_bce_publicaciones (a rolling window of ~30 already-published items, no future dates): this is BCE's own forward-looking release schedule for the full calendar year.

Lists the BCE's publication pages for one catalog: indices (sector bulletins, price and confidence indices, FX, balance of payments; some back to 2004) or cuentas_nacionales (annual, quarterly, regional accounts, input-output, IMAEC). Next: get_bce_pagina_archivos(pagina_id).

Reads the file list of one BCE page (pagina_id from search_bce_paginas): title, URL and format. For indices it also carries year and period (quarter, month or week). Returns links, not contents.

List the direct file links published on one INEC statistical topic page. Get the url from search_inec_estadisticas. Returns technical bulletins, methodology, and historical series as direct PDF/XLSX/CSV/ZIP links — not the file contents. Use read_pdf on a .pdf link, or download it yourself for tabular formats.

List the direct file links (PDF/XLSX/CSV/ZIP) embedded in one INEC publication found via search_inec_publicaciones.

Check INEC's BIINEC ("Banco de Datos Abiertos") for data not found in search_anda or search_inec_estadisticas. Last resort for INEC queries: BIINEC (aplicaciones3.ecuadorencifras.gob.ec) mostly duplicates ANDA and Ecuador en Cifras, so this does NOT scrape or search BIINEC live — it's a small, manually-verified list of the handful of registries confirmed to exist only there (environmental/administrative modules, e.g. hazardous waste in health facilities, ENEMDU/ECV environmental modules). If your query matches nothing here, that does NOT mean BIINEC has nothing — it means it wasn't worth automating; search the site's own search box directly instead.

Search INEC's statistical topic pages (ecuadorencifras.gob.ec). Covers ~75 topics INEC publishes (IPC, ENEMDU, ENSANUT, pobreza, comercio exterior, cuentas nacionales, construcción, censos...), separate from both search_datasets (CKAN) and search_anda (INEC's microdata archive). This is where the actual published aggregate series live — technical bulletins, methodology, and full historical series in Excel/CSV — for operations that ANDA only catalogs as metadata with no downloadable microdata (e.g. price indices). Follow up with get_inec_estadistica_files(url) for one topic's file links.

Search every post INEC has published on Ecuador en Cifras, via its public WordPress REST API -- always current, newest first. Complements search_inec_estadisticas: that tool's topic pages are curated landing pages that can go stale for months or years even while INEC keeps publishing the same operation (confirmed live: ENEMDU's old "Empleo" topic page stopped at April 2023 while INEC kept releasing it monthly under dated posts this tool finds). Use this tool for "what's the latest bulletin/release for X" questions. Use search_inec_estadisticas/get_inec_estadistica_files instead when you want one operation's fixed overview page rather than a specific dated release. Follow up with get_inec_publicacion_archivos(id) for one publication's file links.

Look up a taxpayer's public record by RUC in the SRI. Returns legal name, status, type, economic activity, registration dates, and registered public establishments. Does not return individual tax declarations or amounts.

Search SRI's RUC registry by legal name or trade name (partial text), without needing the exact RUC upfront. Complements get_sri_ruc_info (which requires the exact RUC) for the "I know the company name, not its RUC" case. Each result includes status, taxpayer type, régimen, economic activity, legal representatives, and whether it's a withholding agent/special taxpayer/ghost taxpayer — no declarations or individual tax amounts. The SRI caps this search at 100 matches per query; if total_reportado comes back as 100, there may be more taxpayers than are actually being returned — use more specific text to narrow it down.

Download and preview one Contraloría document (Datos Abiertos or Plan Anual de Control). Get informe_id from list_contraloria_informes. Quarterly "Datos Abiertos" documents return one row per audit report approved that quarter, across every public institution in the country. "Plan Anual de Control" documents are PDFs (one per year); this returns their metadata and points you at read_pdf instead of a table.

List Contraloría General del Estado's "Datos Abiertos" and "Plan Anual de Control" documents. "Datos Abiertos" are quarterly CSV exports of audit reports approved for ANY public institution in the country (Unidad de Control, Entidad, Diligencia, periodo, tipo de informe, N° de informe, fecha de aprobación) — much broader than any single-institution audit archive already covered elsewhere in this MCP. New quarters are added roughly every three months. "Plan Anual de Control" documents are one PDF per year (the approved annual control plan). Follow up with get_contraloria_informe(informe_id) for one document's parsed rows (CSV) or metadata + read_pdf pointer (PDF).

Lists the direct monthly PDF links for one year of SIPA's "Resumen de Indicadores" report, reached from the Ministry of Agriculture's "Indicadores Sectoriales" dashboard page. Confirmed live 2018-2026; each year is a separate page and filename conventions differ across years. Other items on the same dashboard are Tableau Server embeds or JS flipbooks with no direct file — none of those are covered by this tool.

Fetch one tablero (tab) of CENACE's live grid-operations snapshot (Ecuador's national electricity operator) — generation mix and demand, always as-of-now. Tableros: - produccion_tiempo_real: current instant. - demanda_tiempo_real: current instant, plus a per-distributor (empresa eléctrica/CNEL) MW breakdown. - operativa_diaria: yesterday's full day total. - acumulada_mensual: month-to-date total (MWh). - acumulada_anual: year-to-date total (GWh). Each returns "resumen" (produccion total/exportación/importación/ hidráulica/térmica/renovable no convencional, or the demand equivalent). There is no historical query here — CENACE's page has no date picker, only these 5 as-of-now views.

Download and extract text from one IG-EPN report found via search_informes_igepn. IG-EPN has no stable per-report URL (each download is a session-bound form submit), so this re-locates the report by exact name/year/group and streams its PDF directly -- pass `volcan` to disambiguate when two reports share the same name on the same day (happens for volcanic daily reports).

List the queryable columns/measures/date-levels for one SUT Power BI dashboard, discovered from the report's own layout definition (every visual's underlying query), not by guessing. A field like "public contratos.nombre_padre_activ_econ_empresa" is a plain column usable in query_sut_indicador's campos or filtros; one ending in "[medida]" is an aggregate measure (only valid in campos, never filtros); one ending in "[Año]"/"[Mes]" is a date-hierarchy level. denuncias_publico and encuentra_empleo use an older report layout where visuals don't expose their query this way at all — their fields come from a small manually-captured set instead (recovered by driving the live dashboard and reading the queries it actually sent), not from this automatic discovery, but they show up here the same as any other field.

List the Ministerio del Trabajo/SUT's public Power BI "Indicadores" dashboards (sut.trabajo.gob.ec/mrl/contenido/indicadores/*.xhtml). These are live queryable semantic models, not static files — they cover monthly contract registrations by industry/province/gender since 2015 (contratos), employer-reported labor demand and skills gaps, training/certification stats, provincial employment-gap indicators, and a gender/workplace-policy compliance dashboard (PEA, wage gaps, lactation rooms, childcare, teleworking). None of this overlaps with what's already covered by CKAN's ministerio-del-trabajo datasets, which are current-snapshot-only. Follow up with get_sut_indicador_schema(indicador) to see one dashboard's queryable fields, then query_sut_indicador to pull actual data — any combination of fields, not just what one chart already shows.

Run a live query against one SUT Power BI dashboard's underlying data model — any combination of its fields, e.g. month AND industry together for "contratos" (a real monthly time series since 2015 by CIIU industry, province, gender, contract status — none of this is in the ministerio-del-trabajo CKAN datasets, which are a single current-snapshot stock count with no time dimension). Get valid campos from get_sut_indicador_schema(indicador) first — an unrecognized field name raises an error naming the tool to call instead of guessing. filtros only accepts plain-column fields (not "[medida]"/hierarchy-level fields) and matches exact text equality, e.g. {"public contratos.Estado contrato": "Vigente"}. Rows can run into the thousands for a wide breakdown (e.g. every month x every industry) — narrow with filtros or fewer campos rather than raising limite past what's actually needed; format "json" is exact but still subject to the same limite cap.

Search the IG-EPN PDF report archive (Instituto Geofísico): daily/weekly/monthly/special seismic bulletins, volcanic "IG Al Instante" alerts, field/annual reports, etc. Different from search_sismos, which reads the raw earthquake catalog feed -- this searches the narrative/PDF report archive instead. Use get_informe_igepn afterwards to download and read one report's text.

Recovers, via the Wayback Machine, the national blackout-schedule aggregator the Ministry of Energy ran during the 2024 crisis (the domain is now dead). Only the Empresa Eléctrica Quito page was archived: a frozen 2024-04-24 snapshot of Pichincha's rotation by province, canton, and sector. Not a live series.

Lists one electricity distributor's archive of scheduled power-cut PDFs: eeq (Quito, 2023-2024 blackout crises) or centrosur (Azuay, Cañar, Morona Santiago, 2023 on). Regional, not national. Next: get_cortes_horarios with a file's `archivo`.

Parses one scheduled power-cut PDF (`archivo` from search_cortes) into rows with page, date, time blocks without power, sectors and the utility's location fields (EEQ: substation; CentroSur: province/canton/zone). query filters by place.

Lists the reports available in ARCONEL's public statistics builder (Ecuador's electricity regulator), by section: per-parish data (meters, billing, Tarifa Dignidad subsidy), infrastructure, transactions and more. Next: get_arconel_reporte.

Runs one report from ARCONEL's builder and returns its rows, e.g. "Balance Energía" 2023: energy received, sold and lost per month and distributor, with technical and non-technical loss percentages. Slow (about 50 rows per page): max_paginas caps the work and `completo` says whether everything was read.

One-shot research shortcut: search for a dataset, list its resources, and preview the most promising one's actual data -- the search_datasets -> list_dataset_resources -> preview_resource_data workflow in a single call, for the common case of "find me data about X and show me what's in it". Picks the top-ranked search result and, among its resources, the first one in a format this server can actually parse into a table (CSV/JSON/XLS/XLSX/XLSB/ODS/ZIP/TARGZ), skipping unreadable ones (.rar, unrecognized formats) rather than previewing whichever resource happens to be listed first. Not a replacement for the individual tools: if the top search result isn't the right dataset, or you need a specific resource within it, use search_datasets/list_dataset_resources/ preview_resource_data directly instead of re-running this.

List a .zip archive's member files (name, size) from a direct URL, without downloading the archive. Reads only the End Of Central Directory record and the central directory via HTTP Range requests, so it works for archives far larger than the 5 MB preview_resource_data/download_resource cap -- e.g. INEC or censo microdata ZIPs of multiple hundred MB. Requires the server to honor Range requests; fails with a clear error otherwise. Does not support ZIP64 archives. Listing names is cheap this way, but previewing a specific member's rows is not (still needs decompressing from that member's offset onward) -- this tool only lists metadata.

Extract text from a PDF document at a direct URL. Useful for PDFs linked from other tools' results, e.g. get_regulacion_info's Registro Oficial file, or a dataset resource that turned out to be a PDF bulletin instead of a tabular file. No OCR: a scanned PDF with no embedded text layer will come back empty. Max download size: 5 MB (larger files return an explicit error instead of a partial read -- PDFs can't be parsed from a truncated download); max 20 pages extracted per call (call again with a different `pages` range for the rest).

Lists IESS's (Ecuadorian Social Security Institute) three document-archive collections — Boletines Estadísticos, Estudios Actuariales, and Informes de Auditoría — with the years/counts each currently has published. Call get_iess_archivos(coleccion, anio=...) next to get one collection's actual documents.

Lists one IESS document collection's actual documents, each resolved to a direct download URL, título, and formato. Call list_iess_colecciones first to see what years/counts each collection has.

Queries the IESS's public Employer Obligations Compliance Certificate (no login) and reports whether the employer has contributions in arrears. If the certificate text can't be parsed, the status is reported as NO DETERMINADO (undetermined). It does not return employee counts: the IESS doesn't publish that per company; use the n_empleados field from get_financials/search_ranking (self-reported to Supercías).

Fetches the most recent METAR/SPECI aerodrome weather reports for an Ecuadorian aerodrome or helipad, from DGAC's IFIS site (ais.aviacioncivil.gob.ec) — publicly queryable with no login. Returns each report's type, its UTC observation timestamp, and the raw ICAO-format codification text. An unknown designador returns an empty result rather than an error.

Fetches active NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) for an Ecuadorian aerodrome or helipad, from DGAC's IFIS site, also publicly queryable with no login. Each NOTAM includes its series number, the raw ICAO-format text, and the site's own decoded field table. An unknown designador returns zero NOTAMs rather than an error.

Fetches currently active SIGMETs (significant meteorological information — volcanic ash, severe turbulence/icing, thunderstorms) for Ecuador's FIR, from DGAC's IFIS site. Ecuador has a single FIR (SEFG), so there is no per-aerodrome parameter. Zero results means no advisories are currently active, not an error.

Lists the ICAO designators and names of every aerodrome/helipad with a published AIP AD 2.x page, from DGAC's public eAIP — no login required. Use get_aip_aerodromo with one of these designators to fetch its full data sheet (coordinates, runway, operating hours, fees, ATS frequencies, etc.).

Fetches the published AIP AD 2.x data sheet for an Ecuadorian aerodrome or helipad, from DGAC's public eAIP — no login required. Returns every numbered field the AIP publishes, grouped by ICAO Annex 15 subsection: location and administrative data, operating hours, rescue-and-firefighting services, apron/taxiway data, radio navigation aids, runway physical characteristics, declared distances, lighting, flight procedures, and supplementary information. Use list_aip_aerodromos to see which designators are published.

Lists infoMIES's (statistics portal of the former MIES) monthly database files for one program: "anc" or "is". Richer than this project's existing CKAN coverage for the same programs, which only has quarterly snapshots. Confirmed live: only the current year has one file per month so far; every closed year (2019-2025) has exactly one file, the December/year-end snapshot. Files are .rar (outside this project's supported-format list) — only metadata and the direct URL are returned.

Lists infoMIES's zonal bulletin files. Two distinct series live under this name: modo="zonal" (default), the original "Boletín Zonal" series (one .rar per zone per month), discontinued (2017-2021, nothing since); modo="consolidado", the newer "Reporte Boletines Zonales" successor (one consolidated XLSX per year, 2021-2026, still being updated). Both return metadata and direct URLs only — the .rar files are additionally outside this project's supported-format list.

Search CEPALSTAT (CEPAL/ECLAC's public statistics API) for an indicator by name — 2,059 indicators across Demográficos y sociales, Económicos, Ambientales, and Temas transversales (incluye los ODS). NOT an Ecuador-only source: CEPALSTAT is CEPAL's regional catalog for all of Latin America and the Caribbean. Use this to find the indicator_id, then get_cepalstat_indicador to fetch Ecuador's observations specifically.

Fetch one CEPALSTAT indicator's observations, filtered to one country (Ecuador by default) so the response stays small — CEPAL's raw API returns every country in the region (and often the world) per indicator otherwise, confirmed live at ~2.5 MB unfiltered vs. ~85 KB filtered to one country. Each returned record decodes CEPALSTAT's raw dimension ids into readable labels (e.g. "Sexo": "Mujeres", "Años": "1975") using that same indicator's own dimension catalog — not every indicator has the same dimensions.

Searches one institution's catalog of published files and returns direct links (title, URL, format), not contents. Sources: sri_datasets, sri_recaudacion, mef, senae, censo, minedec, senescyt, msp, cnig, trabajo_boletin, salarios, arcotel_boletines and arcotel_mensuales. Download with download_resource or read_pdf (5 MB cap).

Lists the sections of one institution's document archive: the ARCSA sanitary registry, Superbancos and SEPS statistics, INEVAL evaluation datasets, SGR and Higher Education libraries, or SIPA agricultural statistics. Next: get_archivo_seccion(fuente, seccion).

Lists the files in one section returned by list_archivo_secciones. Each file has title, URL and format, plus source-specific context (group, period, subgroup, description). Returns links, not contents; download large files directly (the preview and download tools cap at 5 MB).

Searches the layer catalog (WMS/WFS) of one GeoServer geoportal: inamhi (rainfall normals and anomalies, WRF forecast grids, watersheds) or mag (agro zoning, land cover, agricultural censuses, rural cadastre, agroclimatic risk). solo_wfs=true keeps layers with attribute data.

Fetches a small sample of a geoportal layer's feature attributes (capa from search_capas_geo) using WFS GetFeature. A preview, not a spatial query: no bbox or filters, and geometry coordinates are dropped. Layers without WFS (rasters, some MAG stores) raise an error.
