The CKAN client software may be used to make requests on the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) REST API.

Synopsis:

The simplest way to make CKAN requests is:

    import ckanclient

    # Instantiate the CKAN client.
    ckan = ckanclient.CkanClient(api_key=my_key)

    # Get the package list.
    package_list = ckan.package_register_get()
    print package_list

    # Get the tag list.
    tag_list = ckan.tag_register_get()
    print tag_list

    # Collect the package metadata.
    package_entity = {
        'name': my_package_name,
        'url': my_package_url,
        'download_url': my_package_download_url,
        'tags': my_package_keywords,
        'notes': my_package_long_description,
    }

    # Register the package.
    ckan.package_register_post(package_entity)

    # Get the details of a package.
    ckan.package_entity_get(package_name)
    package_entity = ckan.last_message
    print package_entity

    # Update the details of a package.
    ckan.package_entity_get(package_name)
    package_entity = ckan.last_message
    package_entity['url'] = new_package_url
    package_entity['notes'] = new_package_notes
    ckan.package_entity_put(package_entity)

    # List groups
    group_list = ckan.group_register_get()
    print group_list

    # Create a new group
    group_entity = {
        'name': my_group_name,
        'title': my_group_title,
        'description': my_group_description,
        'packages': group_package_names,
        }
    ckan.group_register_post(group_entity)

    # Get the details of a group.
    print ckan.group_entity_get(group_name)

    # Update the group details
    group_entity = ckan.last_message
    group_entity['title'] = new_group_title
    group_entity['packages'] = new_group_packages
    ckan.group_entity_put(group_entity)
