('Invalid Required Field Value', [u'The \'accessURL\' field has an invalid URL: "http://api.dol.gov/V1/ApiMetrics/PerKey/NumberOfRequestsPerMonthByKeys?KEY=352e8ef9-7b38-4428-875b-eefd39df6289&$filter=TOKEN eq guid\'352e8ef9-7b38-4428-875b-eefd39df6289\'". (1 locations)'])

The URL is valid (try it in Chrome). Because of the way this dataset is set up on the back end, you need everything after the key. This is because it provides user metrics for a particular API key. Without a key/token, there's nothing to provide so it errors out.

Thus, I either get this error from CKAN or there will be broken links in the data.json.

Chrome is fixing bad urls automatically. CKAN doesn't.

Just urlencode() your urls and they will become valid.

%20 instead space " " %27 instead single quote '

Chrome makes same, before making the request
