Installation

The recommended way to install is through composer.

And run these two commands to install it:

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=bin

Create a composer.json file for your project:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/GSA/ckan-php-client.git"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "gsa/ckan-php-client": "0.*"
    },
}

Install dependencies:

$ composer install

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

<?php

use CKAN\CkanClient;

$apiUrl = 'http://catalog.data.gov/api/3';          // CKAN API URL
