notes:
  - dataNOVA is built on the OpenDataSoft platform; rate limits follow OpenDataSoft's standard policies.
  - Datasets are updated periodically (some daily); clients should cache responses rather than polling continuously.
  - Bulk dataset downloads (CSV/GeoJSON exports) should be preferred over repeated API queries for large data volumes.
