CKAN Provider for Koop
To use this provider you first need a working installation of Koop. Then from within the koop directory you'll need to run the following:
npm install koop-ckan --save
Once this provider's been installed you need to register a particular instance of CKAN with your Koop instance. To do this you need to make a POST request to the /ckan endpoint like so:
curl --data "host=https://data.nola.gov&id=nola" localhost:1337/ckan
For Windows users, download cURL from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html or use a tool of your choice to generate the POST request.
What you'll need for that request to work is an ID for koop to use as a reference and the URL of the CKAN instance. The ID is what you'll use to reference datasets that come from CKAN in Koop.
To make sure this works you can visit http://localhost:1337/ckan and you should see all of the registered hosts.
To access a dataset hosted in CKAN you'll need a "dataset id" from CKAN which could be referenced in Koop like so:
http://koop.dc.esri.com/ckan/rwlabs/ourairports-ind
