Type

Description
This extension adds a 'Download All' button to datasets. The download contains a zip file with all resource files and a datapackage.json following the Frictionless Data standard. Benefits include keeping data files together, including machine-readable documentation/metadata, and enabling validation of data releases against schemas. If DataStore is used with xloader/datapusher, the Data Dictionary is included as a schema in datapackage.json. The extension uses CKAN background jobs to create zips when datasets are created or updated. Includes CLI commands for updating zips. Available on PyPI. French translation included. Developed by David Read with 5 stars and 14 forks.

===================

ckanext-downloadall

This CKAN extension adds a “Download all” button to datasets. This downloads a zip file containing all the resource files and a datapackage.json.

.. image:: demo.png

This zip file is a good way to package data for storing or sending, because:

  • you keep all the data files together

  • you include the documentation (metadata) - avoids the common problem of being handed some data files and not know anything about it or where to find info

  • the metadata is machine-readable, so can be used by tools, software and in automated workflows. For example:

    • validating a series of data releases all meet a standard schema
    • loading it into a database, using the column types and foreign key relations specified in the metadata

The datapackage.json <https://frictionlessdata.io/specs/data-package/>_ is a Frictionless Data <https://frictionlessdata.io/specs/data-package/>_ standard, also known as a Data Package.
