ckanext-harvest - Remote harvesting extension
================================================
This extension will contain all harvesting related code, now present
in ckan core, ckanext-dgu and ckanext-csw.
Dependencies
============
You will need ckan installed, as well as the ckanext-dgu and ckanext-csw
plugins activated.
Configuration
=============
The extension needs a user with sysadmin privileges to perform the
harvesting jobs. You can create such a user running these two commands in
the ckan directory::
paster user add harvest
paster sysadmin add harvest
The user's API key must be defined in the CKAN
configuration file (.ini) in the [app:main] section::
ckan.harvesting.api_key = 4e1dac58-f642-4e54-bbc4-3ea262271fe2
The API URL used can be also defined in the ini file (it defaults to
http://localhost:5000/)::
ckan.api_url = <api_url>
If you are using the spatial search feature, you can define the projection
in which extents are stored in the database with the following option. Use
the EPSG code as an integer (e.g 4326, 4258, 27700, etc). It defaults to
4258::
ckan.harvesting.srid = 4258
Command line interface
======================
The following operations can be run from the command line using the
``paster harvester`` command::
harvester source {url} [{user-ref} [{publisher-ref}]]
- create new harvest source
harvester rmsource {url}
- remove a harvester source (and associated jobs)
harvester sources
- lists harvest sources
harvester job {source-id} [{user-ref}]
- create new harvesting job
harvester rmjob {job-id}
- remove a harvesting job
harvester jobs
- lists harvesting jobs
harvester run
- runs harvesting jobs
harvester extents
- creates or updates the extent geometry column for packages with
a bounding box defined in extras
The commands should be run from the ckanext-harvest directory and expect
a development.ini file to be present. Most of the time you will specify
the config explicitly though::
paster harvester sources --config=../ckan/development.ini
API
===
The extension adds the following call to the CKAN search API, which returns
packages with an extent that intersects with the bounding box provided::
/api/2/search/package/geo?bbox={minx,miny,maxx,maxy}[&crs={srid}]
If the bounding box coordinates are not in the same projection as the one
defined in the database, a CRS must be provided, in one of the following
forms:
- urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::4258
- EPSG:4258
- 4258
