Custom Query (2152 matches)

As a

CKAN client using JQuery

I want to

call the CKAN API and instead of receiving back JSON I get JSONP. i.e. "%s(%s)" % (callback, json_content)

Suggested implementation

All API calls allow the JSONP 'callback' parameter to be specified in the request and this wraps the JSON response. See suggested patch to rest.py by Donovan Hide:

​http://knowledgeforge.net/ckan/trac/attachment/ticket/336/resource.patch

Test

import re import unittest

def test_jsonp_callback():

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=​http://www.scraperwiki.com&callback=jsoncallback') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertTrue(match)

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=​http://www.scraperwiki.com') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertFalse(match)

I think the point needs to be made that JSONP only works for GET requests and not POST/PUT/DELETE, so there needs to be a check for that in the _finish_ok method.

(thanks to Donovan Hide for test)

When you do a Package Search or query a Package Relationship in the API version 2, the responses have relationships which refer to packages by name, not by ID.

PUT to /rest/api/package of {"name": "name", "resources": ["someurl.com/data"] } (i.e. resource is a string, not a dictionary) gives 500 error, when it should give a 400 error and helpful error message.
