Scoopin' up all of the metadata from Data.gov. GovScooper is a paginated harvester of the Data.gov CKAN API. It also enables you to save that metadata in a pairtree.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'gov_scooper'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install gov_scooper
metadata_enumberable = DataGov::API.new.search
metadata_enumberable.length #=> 10
metadata_enumberable.map { |md| DataGov::Dataset.new(md).save_ckan_metadata }
# metadata is now saved in a pairtree directory structure based off of id
# Download the resources
DataGov::Dataset.from_id('8a311c18-3060-438e-a8c7-9e37bcde6529').resources.map { |r| r.download }
