API: GovData ~ Germany's open-data portal

Endpoint: GET https://www.govdata.de/ckan/api/3/action/
It returns JSON.

Source: GovData (German federal/state open-data portal) (https://www.govdata.de/)
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.
