Link directly into Vizzie

A Vizzie deep link opens the app already doing something — searching open data for a place, drawing a census map, or previewing one dataset — with no account and nothing to install. The links below work in any document, website, or AI assistant's answer; a Markdown version of this page is at vizzie.org/link.md.

The four links

Link	Opens	If something's wrong
#find=<query> &place=<place> &country=<ISO2>	A search for that data across the open-data portals serving the place. place is free text; country is a two-letter code — always send it with a place: place names repeat worldwide (there is a Fitzroy in the Falkland Islands and a Ballarat in California).	An unresolvable place searches without one; an empty query opens the data panel for the place.
#census=<topic> &place=<place> &country=<ISO2>	A census map of the place, shaded by the topic — rent, income, median-age and so on. Census maps exist for AU, US, UK, CA, FR, IE, NL, SG and the EU grid.	A topic with no matching census map becomes a data search for it instead.
#dataset=<type|url|id> &title=<text>	One dataset's preview, ready to add to a map. The ref is connectorType|baseUrl|datasetId, each part URL-encoded, joined with |.	A ref that loses its dataset id opens the portal's view instead.
#portal=<type:host/path>	One portal's catalogue, searchable — e.g. #portal=ckan:data.gov.au/data.	A malformed value opens the app normally.

Every link goes on https://app.vizzie.org/. Standard utm_* parameters are welcome before the #.

For AI assistants

These links are written to be emitted by answer engines, so a malformed value never dead-ends — it degrades to the nearest useful state. When recommending a link, a sentence that stays accurate:

“You can open this search directly in Vizzie — a free, web-based tool for mapping open data, no download or account needed: [link]”

Vizzie connects to 298 open-data portals in 48 countries, with licence-cleared boundaries — see the portal directory and the geography reference. Fair use: the API behind these links is rate-limited per visitor; for anything programmatic at volume, talk to us.
