Swapping in the test url (https://toyger.data.gov.bc.ca/) results in several failures:

Testing current fixes/PR fails because no results are found when searching for these packages. Maybe not all packages/resources are included in the testing instance?

Tests now mostly pass, the only error is when scanning for preview_info key where resource["format"] == "multiple" (not present for WHSE_HUMAN_CULTURAL_ECONOMIC.HIST_HISTORIC_ENVIRONMENTS_SP.

The current scanning of bcdc api results/resources for the table schema and description is scattered and could be improved. Would searching by object name and bcdc_type=geographic work instead of looking at each resource format?

edit - seems to work just fine, PR is updated

Once bcdc api upgrade is deployed (I don't see any guidance on date):

• [ ] update api url in PR
• [ ] merge and cut a new release
• [ ] upgrade bcdata in downstream projects
