[ckan-discuss] Atom/RSS feed of tagged packages or search results?

[Tim Davies]

Hey David, Aron,

Many thanks.

I'll look for now at using the
http://ckan.net/api/search/package?tags=aidinfo&all_fields=1 option and will
cache with some PHP.

Are the ?tag and &all_fields options documented anywhere that I missed and
should have been looking.

Tim
