# Search public services

Search Canada's public services: who handles it where you live, the official link to do it online, and the nearest places to go.

## How to search

Search results are worked out in the browser. A search is a link: https://canadaservicemap.ca/find?q=health%20card&near=Halifax

- `q`: what you need, in English or French
- `near`: a city, town or postal code (optional)

Without a browser, the JSON API answers the same search: https://canadaservicemap.ca/api/find?q=health%20card&near=Halifax. Every service is also listed by topic at [Services](https://canadaservicemap.ca/services).

## For agents and developers

- Every page has a Markdown copy at its address plus `.md` (this page: https://canadaservicemap.ca/find.md) and a JSON copy at `.json`, or ask for the page itself with `Accept: text/markdown` or `Accept: application/json`.
- [Developers](https://canadaservicemap.ca/developers): the JSON API (https://canadaservicemap.ca/openapi.json) and the MCP server (https://canadaservicemap.ca/mcp).
