[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 15:57:29 UTC 2015

Hi Vittorio,

On CKAN >= 2.3 (which you are using) calling resource_show with your
resource id will return an object that contains "package_id". This is
the dataset id that you need to build the dataset page URL.

For instance:

http://ckan.routetopa.eu/api/action/resource_show?id=07843fc3-07e1-4c66-9be4-fed43ca4a26f

gives you:

http://ckan.routetopa.eu/dataset/58e0c611-8d26-4efe-ad77-af2c7a16234d

Hope this helps,

Adrià
