Embed CKAN-Service in Catalogue-service

[Kohlroulade]

Within the project Energic_OD from European Commision I am planning to integrate your catalogue-service into my own one using the CKAN-protocol. However when I use https://www.govdata.de as endpoint I do not get any results. So I wonder which is the correct URL for integrating the service into my application?

You can access the GovData CKAN API via

https://www.govdata.de/ckan/

Here is a simple example:

https://www.govdata.de/ckan/api/action/package_show?id=sponsoringberichte-bn

For more information on how to use the CKAN API, please refer to the CKAN documentation: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.8.2/

Thanks for the hint. However I have a comment. According to the examples from http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/api/ there should be an action that lists all the datasets. However when I make a request to that URL for your app (using https://govdata.de/ckan/api/3/action/package_list) I get

Fehlerhafte Anfrage - JSON Fehler: No request body data

However when I enter https://govdata.de/ckan/api/3/action/package_list?q= I get the list. So I suggest to return a full list of datasets if no parameters are given to be consistent to the docs from CKAN.

Anyway many thanks for the great portal.

You are welcome.

Please be aware that GovData currently uses CKAN version 1.8.2. There might be changes in the API. Unfortunately I cannot check at the moment, because there seems to be an issue with the CKAN docs for 1.8.2.
