ckanext-bulk
This CKAN extension adds a bulk-download facility to CKAN.
Snippets are provided, which when included on the relevant pages will add a button that, when clicked, downloads a Zip file containing:
- a list of all relevant resource URLs
- a MD5 checksum file
- scripts which download those resources and confirm the checksums match in:
- Python (cross platform)
- Windows PowerShell
- UNIX shell script (bash, using
curl)
- CSV files detailing all metadata for each organization (one CSV per organization)
- CSV files detailing all metadata for each package (one CSV per dataset schema)
- CSV files detailing all metadata for each resource (one CSV per resource schema)
- a metadata file containing information about the original query and quantity of results
Snippets are provided for the organization and package search CKAN views.
Testing Notes: When testing this extension it is called from both the dataset page AND the organization page. Each page has a specific popover to ensure the selected organization is filtered if appropriate. When called from the Organization page, download files should only reflect the search results for that organization. When called from the dataset page, filtering by organization can be added if desired by using the Initiative facet.
This extension depends upon ckanext-scheming.
