OData CGI endpoint

This is a CGI Script that provides an OData Atom endpoint to OData consumers (such as Tableau).

The CGI script is intended to be used within the ScraperWiki.com platform. Typically the URL that is accessed in generated by the OData tool, but it could be generated by hand, or some other program.

The CGI script is odata.py.

URL scheme

The form of the URL should be:

https://cobalt-x.scraperwiki.com/idboxid/secretboxtoken/cgi-bin/odata/collection

The script ignores the first 4 components of the PATH_INFO which are normally the box identifier, the box token, the literal cgi-bin, the literal odata. The remainder of the URL (collection, above) is taken to be the collection (database table) to access.

Query parameters

The following query parameters are used:

$skip
$skiptoken
$top
