ckanext-dataapi 0.1

CKAN Extension Data API - preview and access package resources through data transformation proxy service.

Data API is a CKAN extension - http://ckan.org/wiki/Extensions.

Enable by adding to your ckan.plugins line in the CKAN config:

ckan.plugins = dataapi datapreview

Optional configuration options:

## a data proxy URL
## Default proxy URL is http://jsonpdataproxy.appspot.com
ckanext.dataapi.data_proxy_url = http://...

This extension provides two distinct sets of functionality in relation to Packge Resources (i.e. urls pointing to datasets):

1. Provision of a new API: /api/data

2. Data preview functionality for package resources (using javascript)

Both items depend on the existence of a data proxy service as a way to access data in a standard json format.
