Description
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.

Those queries should work but I do suggest you use the stable version of CKAN which is v1.2 and we suggest you use that. If you still have problems please reopen.
