NorthAxium Data provides structured Canadian government data through a clean, predictable REST API. We ingest directly from federal and municipal primary sources — CanadaBuys, Elections Canada, LobbyCan, NSERC, SSHRC, LEGISinfo, House of Commons parliamentary feeds, and 17 municipal permit portals — with no third-party data vendors in the chain.

​
What You Can Access

We cover 12 datasets across federal procurement, lobbying, political financing, parliamentary activity, and municipal construction — including 2.5M+ building permits and zoning lookup across 10 Canadian cities. Core datasets include: If you need to trace money, lobbying activity, and contract wins back to a single organization — you can do it from the same system.

​
Built For

  • AI agents and LLM pipelines querying Canadian government activity
  • Investigative journalists and researchers tracking procurement and lobbying
  • Government BD teams monitoring competitor contract wins and departmental spend
  • Policy analysts tracking legislative exposure by sector
  • Civic tech builders and open data developers

​
Design Principles

  • Primary-source ingestion — data pulled directly from official government open data APIs and registries; no intermediaries
  • Consistent JSON envelopes — every list endpoint returns the same data + meta shape; every error returns error.code + error.message
  • Unified platform — one API key covers all 12 datasets; no fragmented products or separate subscriptions
  • AI-native — the MCP server lets Claude and other AI agents query the data in natural language without writing API calls
  • Regular refresh — procurement, lobbying, and permit data refreshes weekly; grants refresh quarterly; research grants annually; contributions per election cycle
