Summary

Fetches metadata for one CKAN resource by its unique resource ID using the instance’s resource_show API action.

Inputs

  • CKAN URL (required) — Base URL of the CKAN instance, such as https://demo.ckan.org.
  • Id (required) — Unique ID of the resource to look up, such as e179e910-….

Output shape

One output item per input item, each containing the resource metadata in json.data and json.success: true.

The request uses GET and does not require CKAN API credentials. With Continue On Fail enabled, failed items instead contain an error message in json. Calls status_show as a health check for each distinct CKAN URL before fetching the resource.
