Hey everyone 👋
A question that comes up now and then: "To connect my third-party harvester (a regional geoportal, data.gouv.fr, a GIS platform...) to a Huwise portal, what do I actually need ? An API URL, a DCAT metadata URL... both?"
The answer that tends to surprise people: it's the same URL. The catalog's DCAT export covers both roles at once:
https://your-portal.example.com/api/v2/catalog/exports/dcatThat single address is enough to reference the entire catalog in any DCAT-compatible harvester, whatever tool sits on the other end.
Want to go further:
- 📘 The step-by-step guide (originally written for data.gouv.fr, but the method holds for any third-party DCAT harvester): Referencing your datasets on data.gouv.fr
- 🛠️ The full API reference (available parameters, DCAT-AP formats you can enable on request, authentication): Catalog DCAT export docs
So, who here has already hooked up an external harvester to their Huwise portal? Curious to hear your setups 👇
