Summary

Fetches a CKAN group’s details by its ID or slug. Optional flags control whether the response includes datasets, dataset count, extras, members, sub-groups, and follower count.

Inputs

  • CKAN URL (required) — Base URL of the CKAN instance, such as https://demo.ckan.org.
  • Id (required) — Unique ID or name (slug) of the group.
  • Include Datasets — Defaults to false; when enabled, requests a truncated list of the group’s datasets.
  • Include Dataset Count — Defaults to true; requests the total dataset count.
  • Include Extras — Defaults to true; requests extra fields attached to the group.
  • Include Users — Defaults to false; when enabled, requests the group’s member list.
  • Include Groups — Defaults to true; requests the group’s sub-groups.
  • Include Followers — Defaults to true; requests the follower count.

Output shape

One item per input item, containing a single record in json.data on success.

The success response is wrapped as {"success":true,"data":}. With Continue On Fail enabled, a failed input instead produces {"error":"..."}. For this GET operation, no CKAN API credentials are required; the node checks the instance status before making the group_show request.
