ckanext-drupal-api

The extension helps synchronize the header and footer between CKAN and Drupal.

It uses two versions of the Drupal API - the core Rest API and the JSON:API.

The extension receives data from the Drupal portal through an endpoint (which can be configured in the case of the core REST API) and caches it for a certain time, which can also be changed using the Cache TTL config option, specifying the value in seconds. If you want to synchronize data more often, you need to set a smaller value.

Requirements

• CKAN>=2.10
• python>=3.7

Installation

To install ckanext-drupal-api:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Clone the source and install it on the virtualenv

   git clone https://github.com/DataShades/ckanext-drupal-api.git cd ckanext-drupal-api pip install -e . pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Add drupal_api to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini).

4. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:

   sudo service apache2 reload

Config settings

The extension provides next configuration options:

# The URL of connected drupal instance
ckanext.drupal_api.drupal_url = http://drupal.com

# Request timeout for API calls in seconds
# (optional, default: 5)
ckanext.drupal_api.timeout = 10

# Cache TTL in seconds
# (optional, default: 3600)
ckanext.drupal_api.cache.duration = 60

# HTTP auth credentials (optional)
ckanext.drupal_api.request.user = username
ckanext.drupal_api.request.pass = password

# API versions, only two options: core & json
# Because, there are two supported API versions: JSON API & RESTful Web Services
ckanext.drupal_api.api_version = json

# If you are using the core API version, you might face the situation when your endpoint differ from the default one
# In this case, you can specify the menu export endpoint through the config, e.g.:
ckanext.drupal_api.core.menu_export_endpoint = /api/v1/menu_export
