City of Lethbridge Open Data
Access and analyze 123+ open datasets from the City of Lethbridge via ArcGIS Hub. Data covers transit, infrastructure, elections, environment, tourism, and more.
Portal: https://opendata.lethbridge.ca Platform: ArcGIS Hub
Quick Start
# Search for datasets
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py search "traffic"
# List all datasets
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py list
# View dataset info
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py info "Traffic Counts"
# Fetch data from ArcGIS feature service
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py fetch "Traffic Counts" --limit 5
# Fetch with field filter
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py fetch "Intersection Safety Devices" --limit 10 --format json
# Export as CSV
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py fetch "City Boundary" --csv
# List all datasets with download links
python3 scripts/lethbridge_data.py downloads

Data Sources
Lethbridge datasets come in three types:
- ArcGIS Feature Services — Queryable geospatial data (parks, streets, boundaries)
- ArcGIS Map Services — Read-only map layers
- Document Links — Direct file downloads (Excel, CSV, PDF)
The CLI auto-detects the source type and uses the appropriate method.
ArcGIS REST API
Geospatial datasets use the ArcGIS REST query API:
- Endpoint:
https://gis.lethbridge.ca/gisopendata/rest/services/OpenData/ - Supports
where,outFields,resultRecordCount,f(json/geojson) parameters - Max 2000 records per query
Data Sources
All data is sourced from the City of Lethbridge's Open Data Portal (opendata.lethbridge.ca). See references/datasets.md for a curated list of popular datasets.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: query the City of Lethbridge open data portal and ArcGIS services. Before installing, be aware it will make network requests to opendata.lethbridge.ca, gis.lethbridge.ca and arcgis.com and will create a local .cache directory next to the script to store the catalog. If you plan to run fetch/download on large datasets, expect potentially large network downloads and disk usage. If you need additional assurance, inspect the remainder of the truncated fetch/download handler to confirm it only downloads public dataset files and does not follow or post to unexpected endpoints. Run the script in a controlled environment (or sandbox) if you are running it for the first time.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: lethbridge-opendata
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle provides a legitimate tool for accessing the City of Lethbridge's Open Data portal. The Python script (scripts/lethbridge_data.py) uses standard libraries to interact with ArcGIS Hub APIs and the portal's DCAT feed. All network requests are directed to official data sources (opendata.lethbridge.ca, arcgis.com, and gis.lethbridge.ca), and the script includes standard caching logic without any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description say it queries Lethbridge open data via ArcGIS Hub and the code and SKILL.md implement exactly that: catalog/DCAT reads, ArcGIS REST queries, and document download handling. There are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the included Python CLI to search/list/info/fetch/download datasets from opendata.lethbridge.ca. The runtime instructions and the script operate only on the portal and ArcGIS endpoints; they do not attempt to read unrelated system files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with a single Python script and no install spec. No external downloads or package installs are performed by the skill itself, minimizing install-time risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. The code does not access any environment secrets; it only performs HTTP(S) requests to the open data portal and related ArcGIS endpoints.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable. It creates a local .cache directory next to the script to cache the DCAT catalog (expected for performance) but does not attempt to modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install lethbridge-opendata - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/lethbridge-opendata - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
