[ckan-dev] Getting resources from packages via the ckanapi

Ian,
I was at 3.8 but upgraded 3.10. No change.
I also tried another tack- in my testing I had been using a break so that it only attempted to get the packages for one organization (to make debugging quicker). But when I took that out and ran the script over all the organizations (94) and attempted to get the resources for all datasets/packages (993) a total of 8 actually came back as expected- as full dictionaries with the resources.
I looked over the 8 packages that were successfully returned as dicts with resources and see nothing setting them apart from those that return as -1.
As an experiment I will rewrite to do straight http requests and try taking ckanapi out of the mix. In the meanwhile, here is the current state of my script (with try/excepts pulled out for brevity). If anyone sees a python or ckan problems I would be grateful for assistance:
from pprint import *
from ckanapi import *
key= "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
ua = 'harvestScript/1.0 (+https://gisdata.mn.gov)'
ckan = RemoteCKAN('https://ng911.gisdata.mn.gov/', user_agent=ua, apikey=key)
packageCount = 0
dictCount = 0
orgCount = 0
organizations = ckan.action.organization_list(include_datasets ='True')
for organization in organizations:
orgCount += 1
orgDetails = ckan.action.organization_show(id=organization, include_datasets='True')
packages= orgDetails['packages']
for package in packages:
packageCount += 1
packageObj = ckan.action.package_show(id=package['id'])
if isinstance(packageObj,dict):
pprint(packageObj)
dictCount += 1
print "Total packages: " + str(packageCount)
print "Total dictionaries: " + str(dictCount)
print "Total orgs: " + str(orgCount)
For counts, this is what gets kicked out:
Total packages: 993
Total dictionaries: 8
Total orgs: 94
Thanks,
Andrew

What version of simplejson is installed in the virtualenv?

Ian,
thanks for the assistance, unfortunately I get:
pprint dict(packageObj)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
In terms of versions I am attempting to pull from ckan 2.5.2 which does not seem that old; and I am using RemoteCKAN; I just did not bother adding the initialization to the code I sent. Here is the excluded part of my script:
key= "REDACTED"
ua = 'harvestScript/1.0 (+https://gisdata.mn.gov)'
ckan = RemoteCKAN('https://ng911.gisdata.mn.gov/', user_agent=ua, apikey=key)
Unfortunately this server is firewalled off from public access, but if you want to test ckanapi against it, I can add your IP address to the whitelist and send you a key.

Tim,
I had tried that approach earlier with this syntax which seems to match what works for the organization_show:
packageObj = ckan.action.package_show(id=package['id'])
But when I attempt to see what I retrieved like so:
pprint (packageObj)
All that I get is
-1
Oh.
Try pprint dict(packageObj)
That -1 repr is due to an old performance hack (when using the actions internally you're getting a LazyJSON object instead of a normal dict) We've since reverted that hack. You wouldn't see it if you were using RemoteCKAN or a newer version of CKAN.

I thought perhaps it was a problem with my install of ckanapi so I upgraded from 3.6 to 4.0 but that did not fix the issue.
The syntax you suggested seems to have a problem but I also tried this variation:
packageObj = ckan.action.package_show(‘id:' + package['id']) #note addition of plus sign…
which throws:
TypeError: action() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)
Still plunking away…

Hi Andrew,
Once you have the package id, you can :
packageObj = ckan.action.package_show(‘id:' package['id'])
This will return you the package object with all the resources included. You can loop through the resources if you want but I believe all the resource metadata is provided.

Hoping somebody can assist: I am attempting to create a report for one of my ckan instances that lists all the organizations, and then all of their packages along with the id of the packages’ resource (we have only one resource per package). However, I do not seem to be able to link to the resource id via API calls.
Here is what I have so far:
organizations = ckan.action.organization_list(include_datasets ='True')
for organization in organizations:
packages= orgDetails['packages']
for package in packages:
#And here is where it breaks down…. Here are a few of the many searches / shows I have tried:
resourceObj = ckan.action.resource_search(query='package_id:' +package['id'])
#which returns: {u'query': u'Field "package_id" not recognised in resource_search.', u'__type': u'Validation Error'}
revisionObj = ckan.action.revision_show(id=package['revision_id'])
#which just brings back information already knows about the revision.
While iterating through the package information I seem unable to get the related resources. I have tried all sorts of queries using what info I have from the package to get the related resources.
What can I use to link from the package list found in the return object from organization_show to get resources?
Many thanks,
