> An ArcGIS Open Data Provider for Koop

`koop-opendata` allows you to take any search on ArcGIS Open Data and turn it into a Feature Service, GeoJSON, Shapefile or CSV.

## Install

To install or use this provider you will first need a working installation of Koop. We recommend the [`koop-sample-app`](https://github.com/koopjs/koop-sample-app) application template as an easy way to get started.

Add `koop-opendata` as a dependency to the `package.json` of your Node.js project.

```
npm install koop-opendata --save
```

## Usage

`koop-opendata` needs to be registered as a provider in your Koop app in order to work.

```js
var openData = require('koop-opendata')
koop.register(opendata)
```

After that you need to create an `openData:services` table in your spatial database.

```sql
CREATE TABLE "openData:services"
(
id character varying(100),
host character varying(100)
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE "openData:services"
OWNER TO username;
```

Once that's done you can restart your server and the Open Data routes will be available.

If you're using the `koop-sample-app` template, you can start the server like this:

```
node server.js
```

### Register a site that you want to search against

- Example opendata.dc.gov
``` bash
curl -XPOST 'http://koop.com/openData' -d 'host=http://opendata.dc.gov&id=dc'
```
- Example opendata.arcgis.com
``` bash
curl -XPOST 'http://koop.com/openData' -d 'host=http://opendata.arcgis.com&id=umbrella'
```

### Start searching

- Example: Zoning datasets on opendata.dc.gov
```bash
curl -XGET 'http://koop.dc.esri.com/openData/dc/q/zoning'
```

- Example: Zoning datasets in the United States on opendata.arcgis.com
```bash
curl -XGET 'http://koop.dc.esri.com/openData/umbrella/q/zoning/place/united+states'
```

- Example: Land use datasets that have the keyword: zoning
```bash
curl -XGET 'http://koop.dc.esri.com/openData/umbrella/q/land+use/keyword/zoning'
```

- Example: Land use datasets, with the keyword zoning, sorted by date updated, in a bounding box
```bash
curl -XGET 'http://koop.dc.esri.com/openData/umbrella/keyword/zoning/sort_by/updated_at/bbox/135%2C1.014%2C-135%2C72.277'
```

* Note: the Koop URL is only for example purposes
* Not used to seeing curl commands? For the -XGET requests simply take the URL and paste it into your browser

### Search parameters

You can use all the search parameters together or choose to use none at all. Just place the parameter name before the one you want to use.

Examples:
- `/q/water`
- `/keyword/zoning`

Example of chained parameters:
- `/q/water/keyword/zoning`

```json
{
"q": "a simple query string to search against",
"keyword": "a keyword tag that must appear in any result",
"bbox": "a bounding box to restrict results",
"sort_by": "which way the results should be sorted [relevance, name, updated_at, created_at]",
"place": "a place to restrict the results to. this place will be geocoded and used as a bounding box"
}
```

### Available formats

koop-opendata supports all the same formats as [Koop](http://github.com/esri/koop)

- KML -> simply append `.kml` to the request
- CSV -> append `.csv`
- Shapefile -> append `.zip`
- Feature Server -> append `/FeatureServer/0`
- GeoJSON -> append `.geojson`
