Israel Open Data Changelog
July 27, 2026 · View on GitHub
What appeared on data.gov.il, month by month, newest first.
1197 datasets across 124 months — 2015-12 to 2026-07. Generated 2026-07-27.
Unofficial. This is not published by, affiliated with or endorsed by data.gov.il or the Israeli government. It is a third-party view built from the portal's public CKAN API.
The portal publishes a catalogue but no changelog: there is no way to ask it what is new since I last looked. Every dataset does carry a metadata_created timestamp, so that history can be reconstructed and then kept current. This repo is that reconstruction.
How it is built, and what that means
Each dataset is placed in a month by its metadata_created value, taken straight from the API — nothing is scraped and no date is inferred. The catalogue is pulled with package_search?sort=metadata_created desc, English is added by machine translation, and the month tree is regenerated from scratch each run.
Treat the dates as indicative, not authoritative. metadata_created is the record's creation timestamp in the portal's own database. It is the best signal the API offers and it behaves sensibly here — 124 distinct months, no nulls, timestamps minutes apart within a publishing session — but it is not a guaranteed statement of when a dataset became publicly available, and nobody at the portal warrants it as one. If a date matters, verify it against the dataset page. This is meant for people trying to keep on top of the catalogue, not for citation.
English titles and descriptions are machine translations (gpt-4.1-mini / google/gemini-2.0-flash-001) — data.gov.il publishes no English metadata. The Hebrew is the authoritative text; datasets.csv records which model produced each row.
Full method, API quirks and known blind spots: docs/method.md.
- One folder per month:
months/YYYY-MM/with aREADME.mdtable and adatasets.csv. - Rebuild with
./build.sh— idempotent, so only real changes show as a diff.
