[ckan-dev] Question: APIs to get the URL of a dataset's web page, when we know the resource id of the dataset

Thu Nov 12 15:50:43 UTC 2015

Dear all.
We are developing (in a EU project called ROUTE-TO-PA) a social
interface to datasets via CKAN. We are facing this problem and we
couldn't solve it efficiently (actually the only solution we can
imagine is to navigate through ALL the datasets, which is too
expensive). Here are the details.. thanks for the help

Our problem:

Known the “resource_id” of a dataset, is it possible to know, by using
CKAN API, the URL of the dataset’ s web page.

Example:

Our known dataset API data url is:

“07843fc3-07e1-4c66-9be4-fed43ca4a26f”

So, the resource_id  is known and we would like to know how to use the
CKAN APIs to build the dataset's page URL, as for example:

http://ckan.routetopa.eu/dataset/openbilancio-provincia-di-prato/resource/07843fc3-07e1-4c66-9be4-fed43ca4a26f

or

http://ckan.routetopa.eu/dataset/58e0c611-8d26-4efe-ad77-af2c7a16234d/resource/07843fc3-07e1-4c66-9be4-fed43ca4a26f

The missing part is the "dataset identifier" (i.e.
openbilancio-provincia-di-prato or
58e0c611-8d26-4efe-ad77-af2c7a16234d)
