Whilst going through the API docs for the revision search API, it was noticed that the "Gdu" SoS doc doesn't match up. It returns revision IDs (perhaps this is useful to note in the spec?) so the format is probably not 'limitedstring'. Also, they appear to be ordered youngest first, not oldest as stated.

And in the revision model, it refers to 'simplestring' which it doesn't define - I guess the names should be 'limitedstring'?

Could this be checked out?

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.

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)

An install of CKAN should be configurable without changing any of the installed files. This makes it clear to upgrade CKAN. Complete the changes in this wiki page to allow static files to be served from outside CKAN paths over CKAN versions and additional CSS file to be pulled in.

As a

CKAN client such as ScraperWiki

I want to

search for Package Resources, either by URL or other field, or just get them all. I want to be able to get all the resource's fields, such as URL.

Proposed implementation

Add resource search API at:

/api/search/resource

AND resource added to model API at:

api/rest/resource

(see ticket:358)

Functional differences from the ScraperWiki suggested patch:

• URL is not normalised

• URLs are not grouped

• All fields of the resource object are returned, not just the URL

• Package is identified by its ID, not name or full URL. (This is for consistency in the API - you can simple prepend '​http://ckan.net/package/' to the package ID)

This is to make our API more general, simple and consistent. It means that the ScraperWiki client has to do a bit more processing to get exactly what it needs. Is this ok?

Example search

POST

{"url": "scraperwiki.com/", "all_fields": 1}

to: /api/2/search/resource

returns JSON:

 [{"id": "a3dd8f64-9078-4f04-845c-e3f047125028",
   "package_id": "b8a325c8-af2a-43f3-8245-9db7d73dfbfe",
   "URL": "http://scraperwiki.com/lincolnshire-councillors", 
   "format": "CSV", 
   "Description": "Scrape of www.lincs.gov/councillors.pdf by ScraperWiki.",
   "hash": "", 
   "position": 2
 }]

Note use of package_id instead of package_name is something we're moving towards in the API, since names can change. When we've done ticket:341 then ckan.net/package/lincs-councillors will be a synonym of ckan.net/package/b8a325c8-af2a-43f3-8245-9db7d73dfbfe

Search Parameters

Key:  q
Description: Search all resource fields for the value

Key: url / description / format / 
Description: Search particular field for the value

Key: all_fields
Value: 0 or 1 (0 is default)
Description: If 1 (true), the full record of the package resource
(and it's package reference) are returned, rather than just the
PackageResource ID.

May also choose to introduce 'offset' and 'limit' to page through a large number of results.

JSONP achieved through API-wide parameter - see ticket:342

Search is case insensitive.

Original request

Hi, have attached a patch for adding a resource list api call. Have also added a JSONP compatible callback section, along the lines of #388.

Could also add a search version. Not sure what the best url would be for that though.

Haven't written a test as the structure seems to follow a functional spec. Is that document around somewhere?

Donovan

This is a problem with the package page e.g. ​http://ckan.net/package/open-election-data-project . The feed icon links to [1] and the text next to it "Subscribe" links to [2]. Surely these should be the same? The second link seems to right one to me.

• [1] ​http://ckan.net/package/open-election-data-project?format=atom
• [2] ​http://ckan.net/package/history/open-election-data-project?format=atom&days=7

During tag autocompletion, clicking on a suggested tag doesn't trigger completion in the text box.

The python time module is supposed to recognise timezones such as 'UTC', 'GMT' and 'BST' using the %Z parameter. This works fine on British installs, but the buildbot (for example) gives this error:

DateConvertError?: Could not read date as ISO format "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z". Date provided: "Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:30:00 BST"

It turns out that it only recognises local names of timezones.

The ONS import doesn't care much about timezone, so we should just ignore it, avoiding these problems.

Should prominently (at the top?) mention existing code libraries for working with ckan api. Have:

• Python: ckanclient
• Perl: luke closs wrote something
• PHP: drupal library?
• ...?

Later versions of python use json which is better than simplejson, but it must be kept as an option for compatibility. So centralise the import of json to ckan.lib.helpers.

Currently search indexing is triggered directly using a Postgresql db callback. Now take advantage of the Notification system to register interest in all package changes and db changes to trigger this instead.

The indexing shall run in a separate shell/process, managed by supervisord.

Use cases

• Register for package changes
• Register for all revisions
• Notified of a package change
• Notified of a revision
• Deregistration
• Configuration of port in pylons config

Design

• Default port: 5672 (standard for AMQP)
• Exchange name: 'ckan'
• Exchange type: topic exchange (most flexible)
• Routing keys: (see below)

Routing detail

Routing key format: "OBJ_TYPE" (NB tags should be identified by their name, not ID)

Example routing keys

• 'package' - Package edited/created
• 'resource' - Resource edited/created
• 'revision' - Any change
• 'db.clean'
• 'db.rebuild'

Example queue bindings that clients may use:

• * - no filtering - client receives all notifications
• package - only changes to packages
• revision - all revisions
• db - all database operations

Versioning

Since message payloads will be tied into the REST Entities, it makes sense to join up with the REST versioning. This could be achieved by providing new exchanges called 'ckan-1.1' perhaps?

As a sysadmin I want to configure basic site title information for use in the site templates.

Implementation:

• ckan.site_title config variable
• set this on g in app_globals.py e.g.
  • from pylons import config; g.site_title = config.get('ckan.site_title, 'CKAN - Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network')
• use in head title and in main site title/logo section (use it as alt on logo image)
• Also all other pages (e.g. index, about) which talk about CKAN
  • Is this needed? Would it not be better for people who want to customize the site to simply overwrite those templates?

Questions:

• Do we want a site_logo variable whic his use for site title/logo section instead of site_title if site_logo defined?
• Probably yes, but not part of this ticket.

The CKAN instance on data.gov.uk serves invalid URIs out of its API.

For example the following can be found,

​http://uk.sitestat.com/homeoffice/rds/s?rds.hosb0509tabsxls&ns_type=pdf&ns_url=[http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs09/hosb0509tabs.xls]

In this URI, the : and / characters after the ? in the query part are invalid according to section 3.4 of RFC2396

Also URIs are not stripped of whitespace at the end.

This causes problems when other software with a more correct interpretation of what a valid URI is attempts to consume data from CKAN. In this instance the Talis triplestore complains about such URIs.

"Be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you send" would seem apt.

Actions

• Validation of urls as part of form entry or data loading
  • Need to consider situation where this should happen out-of-band (i.e. we allow load even with invalid data and then flag bad dates in separate validation process). In general doubtful that we should do this here because url invalidity is such a big deal
• This code should support analysis of existing data so we can go through existing database and find invalid urls
  • Also useful to have this so we can do out of band validation

If you search for unescaped characters such as '`' (backtick) in the URL in Chrome then you get a 500 error.

Bug report regarding getting revisions:

Getting revisons by ID (on the latest ID) GET "​http://test-hmg.ckan.net/api/search/revision?since_revision=44aac9b6-ba24-43a8-87a1-f6923dc523ff"

Returns a whole load of stuff (it's also quite slow - about 10 seconds)

I'm expecting it to return just an empty array - am I doing something wrong here - if so could you clarify correct use of the API?

GET "​http://test-hmg.ckan.net/api/search/revision?since_time=2010-04-30T23:45" Returns the empty string - I'd expect an empty array ie []

GET "​http://test-hmg.ckan.net/api/search/revision?since_time=2010-04-31T23:45" Returns an internal server error 500 - I think it should probably be "bad Request" 400 (the date is invalid)

On ckan.net there are a few packages which cause a 403 exception when you try to rate them: ​http://www.ckan.net/package/rate/coins-data?rating=3

The exception is occuring here: ckan.rating:39 in set_rating rating_obj = rating_query.one() InvalidRequestError?: Multiple rows returned for one()

It looks like this package got rated twice in quick succession, creating two similar PackageRating? objects. This race condition needs to be solved and these particular rating objects repaired.

Suggest move this below the label and make full width of screen and only 3/4 rows high (more like a wiki site).

• Also change label to: Edit summary (Briefly describe the changes you have made)
• Remove: you can markdown formatting here.
• Move author: if you have not signed in smaller and closer (like markdown instructions are nwo).
• Change commit -> save
• Remove "please save" just have the bullet points

Extracted from ticket:216.

Dubious of its merit.

Need to be able to build a distribution. Need:

• new 'build' command
• specify distribution format. Suggest at the moment a simple zip or tar.gz build in most straightforward way form distribution.

UndefinedError: {'url': u'a', 'hash': u'a', 'description': u'a', 'format': u'a'} has no member named "id"

How to reproduce:

1. Go to package edit form, enter a package resource but without a URL.
2. Click preview.

Visual display of a package's feed in the Package Read (/package/xyz) and Package History (/package/history/xyz) pages.

Motivation: each package's Atom feed is mentioned in the <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" ...> tag, which Firefox displays with a feed icon, but the other 3/4 of users may not discover it.

The Repo History (/revision) page has a visual link the feed.

PS It would be nice to display the feed icon in both these places too.

Failing test: ckan.tests.models.test_resource.TestResourceLifecycle?.test_03_reorder_resources

Not clear how visible this is to the user.

Currently the package form gives you 3 fields for extras. To get more you have to hit preview. This is obscure. It would be better to have some buttons to add/remove fields, just like with the resources.

When you edit a package, all of its resources are deleted and a fresh set created. This causes all history of them to be lost.

doc/api.rst needs to cover the new Revision REST interface.

These don't work.

Use Nick's examples as a basis to revamp the formalchemy usage, principally in the package edit form.

• ​http://static.whiteink.com/css/examples/forms.html
• ​http://whiteink.com/temp/ckan-forms/

Also put in redirect from old locations (see examples with plurals in routing.py)

Estimated cost: 20m

Actual cost: 40m

When a package's name is changed, references to the old name (in the WUI and REST) are redirected to the new name (assuming the old name is not being reused by another package).

When I edit a package on no.ckan.net with lots of extra fields, lots of them completely disappear.

Metastable branch.

If the key to an extra field has a space in it then various form code doesn't work. Either need to disallow spaces or cope with them.

Create a new package with a name 'blah' and resource format 'blah'. Hit preview. There is an error because of the lack of resource url, but in the resource input boxes, there are now four resources with format 'blah'.

At the moment only support a very limited set of extra fields (see docs for details). Should support arbitrary extra fields (note no need to put these in special full text index though ...)

Cost: 1h

I want to be able to easily check when a package is added (or removed?) from a given tag or groups. To do this I would like access to an Atom/RSS feed for a given tag or group.

• This would allow people to embed feed widgets in other places

There is code to create packages in-process (ckan/lib/importer) and via HTTP (ckanclient/loaders/base). There is also code to read different kinds of package source (Google Spreadsheets spreadsheet, other spreadsheet).

Propose to refactor all this to have template method in base command class (subclasses may implement command line interface, graphical user interface, or Web interface), where the template method calls on aggregated strategy objects for: reading raw spreadsheet data from spreadsheet application; for inferring CKAN package entities from the raw spreadsheet data; and for writing package entities to CKAN service.

Spreadsheet readers to be factored to allow for variations of spreadsheet application.

Raw data inferrers to allow for variations in spreadsheet cell structure.

CKAN writer strategies to allow for either CKAN client or direct linking.

Actual cases then supported by specifying existing strategies (or defining new ones) in a script that invokes the command class.

As a user I want to track changes to a particular package.

Provide an Atom feed, linked from the package read page.

Revision.packages should not include all changes so why are we getting revisions with no associated changes? See e.g. ​http://ckan.net/revision/read/814e39e1-2540-4449-90d1-ac9a92ab40fb?

Investigate and fix.

NB: if this is bugfix this should go against stable or metastable branch if at all possible and then be merged into default.

Cost: 1.5h (?)

Need a way to mark packages as duplicate.

Ideas/Questions?:

• Could work off a tag (meta-duplicate or somesuch)
• What happens if we want to delete the package (to we leave a place-holder, do we merge content?)

Currently use old "bullet-point" style. Should change to now standard style used on e.g. package search results page.

Cost: 0.5h

Add uuids into package in REST interface.

WUI:

• Editable as part of package or separately? (e.g. like authz)
• Do we normalize to only one type name of the pair?
• Do we allow create of relationship from both ends (e.g. only from dependency to dependent or either way?)

New domain object: PackageRelationship? (revisioned)

Attributes:

• subject (Package reference)
• object (Package reference)
• type (string)
• comment

Relationship type values: depends_on (dependency_of) derives_from (has_derivation) child_of (parent_of)

Relationship type is stored as a string, as given in the first column. The reverse relationship (bracketed) is given just for display purposes only.

Subject / Object - as in a sentence: "Dracos is derived from OSM" is <subject> <predicate> <object>. We'll use 'type' instead of 'predicate' as that is a more familiar word.

Add link to RDF representation of a package in our Atom feed.

Need to do i18n of forms (not in templates but in code). Should consult with tonfa about this.
