OData Interface for Koop

This plugin makes it possible to interact with Koop's many providers using an OData-compliant API.

Note: This plugin only works when used with these versions of koop and koop-ckan. They've been submitted as pull requests, so this plugin is more of a proof of concept until they're merged.

Installation

npm install koop-odata

Registering the plugin

To use this plugin in your koop instance, register it the same way you'd register providers as demonstrated in koop's documentation

koop.register(odata);

Usage

Append /odata to your normal query to interact with the resource with an OData API, for instance:

http://localhost:1337/ckan/phl/heart-healthy-screening-sites/odata?&$filter=ZIP_CODE%20eq%2019146

will produce an OData XML object like:

<d>
    <properties>
        <_id>4</_id>
        <X>-75.17548258333102</X>
