Answer 1

You can get the list of all the available datasets in a database provided you have the database name.

GET https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets?database_code=<database-name>&api_key=<api-key>

Replace the value <database-name> and <api-key> in the above URL. This will return a list of dataset object. Each object will have a dataset_code field having the required value.

Make sure you register on the quandl website for getting the access key. You do not have to pay or give credit card details for registration.

For JSON response you can use the below. Also you can mention the current page and page size as below -

https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets.json?database_code=${databaseCode}&api_key=${apiKey}&current_page=${currentPage}&per_page=${perPage}
