Installation

  1. Install the extension from PyPI: 

    pip install ckanext-harvest-basket

  2. Enable the main plugin and harvesters you want to use in your CKAN configuration file (e.g. ckan.ini or production.ini):

    ckan.plugins = ... harvest_basket arcgis_harvester socrata_harvester ...

Dependencies

The extension requires the following CKAN extensions to be installed and enabled:

  1. ckanext-harvest: This extension is built on top of ckanext-harvest. You need to install and enable it because ckanext-harvest-basket only provides the harvesters, not the harvesting process itself. Without it, the extension won’t work.

  2. ckanext-transmute (optional): If you want to modify remote data based on a schema in your harvest source configuration, you'll need to install and enable ckanext-transmute.

  3. ckanext-dcat (optional): If you want to harvest metadata from DCAT JSON files, you'll need to install and enable ckanext-dcat, as we're inheriting the original DCAT harvester from there.

  4. ckanext-spatial (optional): If you want to harvest metadata from CSW servers, you'll need to install and enable ckanext-spatial, as we're inheriting the original CSW harvester from there.
