Custom Query (2152 matches)

Reported by Alexander, 3 years ago.

Hello.

I've installed stable CKAN v1.1 from PyPI.

I can't find any docs about using CKAN API in order to query packages.

Query ./api/search/package?q=str works fine, but with extra parameters, such as limit, offset, fullinfo, order_by, search_notes, don't. Should I use new version for this? How can I perform this query via Ckanclient? Is it possible?

Also I'm interested how to find open-licensed files? I tied URL ./api/search/package?q=str&open_only=1&downloadable_only=1 and Ckanclient:

result = ckan.package_search('str', {'open_only': 1, 'downloadable_only': 1})

As result nothing found.

Thanks.

A user reported wanting to install ckan at a suburl. Apparently this does not work well because some urls are hard-coded: ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2010-November/000726.html

Instead we should use the site_url config option where necessary.

• perhaps we should show the openid as well to distinguish between users with the same name.

• perhaps on account creation, the user should be redirected to their personal details page to encourage them to fill in a human readable name.

• also the list is much too long. can we make it work some other way? javascript is an option, but must be careful to fail gracefully when the browser does not support it.
