Miscellaneous CKAN utility library
Project description
# ckanutils
## Introduction
ckanutils is a [Python library](#library) for interacting with remote and local [CKAN](http://ckan.org/) instances. It uses [ckanapi](https://github.com/ckan/ckanapi) under the hood, and is essentially a high level wrapper for it. A command line interface built on top of this library is available at [ckanny](https://github.com/reubano/ckanny).
With ckanutils, you can
- Download a CKAN resource
- Upload CSV/XLS/XLSX files into a CKAN DataStore
- and much more...
## Requirements
ckanutils has been tested on the following configuration:
- MacOS X 10.9.5
- Python 2.7.9
ckanutils requires the following in order to run properly:
- [Python >= 2.7](http://www.python.org/download) (MacOS X comes with python preinstalled)
## Installation
(You are using a [virtualenv](http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html), right?)
sudo pip install ckanutils
## Usage
ckanutils is intended to be used directly from Python.
### Examples
*Fetch a remote resource*
```python
from ckanutils import CKAN
ckan = CKAN(remote='http://demo.ckan.org')
resource_id = '36f33846-cb43-438e-95fd-f518104a32ed'
r, filepath = ckan.fetch_resource(resource_id, filepath='path/to/file.csv')
print(r.encoding)
```
*Fetch a local resource*
```python
from ckanutils import CKAN
ckan = CKAN(api_key='mykey', remote=None)
resource_id = '36f33846-cb43-438e-95fd-f518104a32ed'
r, filepath = ckan.fetch_resource(resource_id, filepath='path/to/file.csv')
print r.encoding
```
*show data*
```python
from ckanutils import CKAN
ckan = CKAN(api_key='mykey', remote=None)
resource_id = '36f33846-cb43-438e-95fd-f518104a32ed'
r = ckan.datastore_search(resource_id)
print r.next()
```
## Configuration
ckanutils will use the following [Environment Variables](http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/set-environment-variable-linux/) if set:
Environment Variable|Description
--------------------|-----------
CKAN_API_KEY|Your CKAN API Key
CKAN_REMOTE_URL|Your CKAN instance remote url
CKAN_USER_AGENT|Your user agent
## Hash Table
In order to support file hashing, ckanutils creates a hash table resource called `hash_table.csv` with the following schema:
field|type
------|----
datastore_id|text
hash|text
By default the hash table resource will be placed in the package `hash_table`. ckanutils will create this package if it doesn't exist. Optionally, you can set the hash table package in the command line with the `-H, --hash-table` option, or in a Python file as the `hash_table` keyword argument to `api.CKAN`.
Example:
```python
from ckanutils import api
ckan = api.CKAN(hash_table='custom_hash_table')
hash = ckan.get_hash('36f33846-cb43-438e-95fd-f518104a32ed')
```
## Scripts
ckanutils comes with a built in task manager `manage.py` and a `Makefile`.
### Setup
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
### Examples
*Run python linter and nose tests*
```bash
manage lint
manage test
```
Or if `make` is more your speed...
```bash
make lint
make test
```
