[CKAN-support] Fwd: Data API button

Mon Mar 11 08:12:47 UTC 2013

Hi chaps,

This is a follow on message from Queensland SSQ on using the Data API:

The DataStore appears to have been previously set up by OKFN for data.qld.gov.au<http://data.qld.gov.au/>; a database exists for it, and there are read and write URLs configured in CKAN.

However, the datastorer plugin does not appear to be working (we still get 'Data API is unavailable'), despite being enabled in the CKAN configuration. Also, there does not appear to be a way to access the datastorer via paster, in accordance with the instructions on the datastorer Github page (https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datastorer). How can this plugin be properly enabled and configured?

They have been following the guidance provided previously:

Presuming you would like to do this yourselves, could you ensure the procedures outlined in the setup guide http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.8/datastore.html
have been followed? Alternatively, if you would like us to arrange for this to be done on the datastores, it would take about 1 day.
Getting data uploaded can be performed manually using the datastore API, or the datastorer which can go through resources and add them to the datastore. There would be a bit of extra testing needed for the datastorer if that was required, though it should only be another few hours or so if everything is working.

Do you have any suggestions for them?

Thanks,

Lawrence
