Request to expose JSON schema via API

[zachsa]

Hi Mark,

There is currently the functionality to download the metadata records as JSON on the catalogue (for logged in users). I would like to allow for downloading in CSV format, but for that I need to first read the JSON schema. Can I get this via an API call?

Hi Zach, In the future our schemas will be published at odp.saeon.ac.za/schema, but for now you can just get it from GitHub: https://github.com/SAEONData/ODP-Data/tree/master/schema

Can we leave this issue open? I will wait until the ODP endpoint makes it available before implementing

Okay - just bear in mind that this is happening as part of ODP v2 development which is still in very early days. It will likely only go to production sometime next year.

All good
