I'm building an app using a free Canada API (no auth needed).

API: Statistics Canada ~ Web Data Service (official stats)
Provider: Statistics Canada
Endpoint: GET https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/wds/rest
It returns JSON.

Source: Statistics Canada (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/developers/wds)
Source type: Official open-data catalogue
Endpoint type: Open-data catalogue JSON
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-05
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
