[ckan-dev] CKAN - Api question

Tue Apr 1 16:18:24 UTC 2014

We faced several issues with the CKAN API. It's a great API but some errors happens..
We (@datitrentinoit) did a full wrapper of CKAN API (implementing a lot of workarounds, tested and verified)  that maybe could help you .It's for pyton application development. Please take a look and use it as you like..

Documentation is herehttps://rshk.github.io/ckan-api-client/

Any feedback is welcome

Thnx for answer.
Can you help me with something else, i am looking for api query which will return data in JSON format or XML so i can use them in my applications directy.I know i can get link to .csv or .xls file and download it, but i have to parse it after, i need  something like this http://demo.ckan.org/api/action/datastore_search?resource_id=d81037dc-6fb8-46f9-a79a-2d447bc2b12b

Is way to get data like that with action or rest api, or i have to use datastore?
Thank you

Basic resource search is working: http://ckan-gradzagreb.cloudapp.net/en/api/action/resource_search?query=name:nezaposleni 

So you previous search was probably not working because your data is not in the datastore.
Usually, except if this is a very well defined use case where I know the data will be in the datastore, I do a regular resource_search.

Site was down, because i was plying with config file.. :) now it should be up.As for question 2. you can check it now..

I have enabled datastore but i think datapusher isn't working... So i am trying to install/enable it.

Hi Vladimir,
Let's start with the beginning: 
What error do you get when call the API? (At the moment, the whole seems down...)

Does any other API call works (like just listing the datasets?
Did you enable the datastore in your configuration?

Hi, i have installed ckan from package and site is up and running. At moment i am having problems with ckan API.

I was checking demo site and i see api calls like this http://demo.ckan.org/api/action/datastore_search?resource_id=d81037dc-6fb8-46f9-a79a-2d447bc2b12b and that is exactly what i was looking for. Api calls which returns data so i can consume it in applications.

So  decided to try same api calls on my site http://ckan-gradzagreb.cloudapp.net/en , but it isnt working... 

Calls to http://ckan-gradzagreb.cloudapp.net/api/rest/dataset/vrtici retrun dataset data name,id and so on..but calls to http://ckan-gradzagreb.cloudapp.net/en/api/action/datastore_search?resource_id=e957cf04-8db9-4216-a4ab-d13416503f3c or http://ckan-gradzagreb.cloudapp.net/en/api/action/datastore_search?resource_id=vrtici are not working...

Can any help me with this? Am i doing something wrong, maybe we didn't setup datastore correctly or i have problem because i have used install from package which is not latest ckan version?

Thnx for help
