The CKAN client software may be used to make requests on the Comprehensive
Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN) REST API.

## Synopsis ##

The simplest way to make CKAN requests is:

import ckanclient

# Instantiate the CKAN client.
ckan = ckanclient.CkanClient(api_key=my_key)

# Get the package list.
ckan.package_register_get()
package_list = ckan.last_message
print package_list

# Get the tag list.
ckan.tag_register_get()
tag_list = ckan.last_message
print tag_list

# Collect the package metadata.
package_entity = {
'name': my_package_name,
'url': my_package_url,
'download_url': my_package_download_url,
'tags': my_package_keywords,
'notes': my_package_long_description,
}

# Register the package.
ckan.package_register_post(package_entity)

# Get the details of a package.
ckan.package_entity_get(package_name)
package_entity = ckan.last_message
print package_entity

# Update the details of a package.
ckan.package_entity_get(package_name)
package_entity = ckan.last_message
package_entity['url'] = new_package_url
package_entity['notes'] = new_package_notes
ckan.package_entity_post(package_entity)
