CARTO Data Services API client extension

Postgres extension for the CARTO Data Services API, client side.

Dependencies

This extension is thought to be used on top of CartoDB geocoder extension, for the multiples available geocoders (internal, nokia, etc).

The following is a non-comprehensive list of dependencies:

• Postgres 9.3+
• Postgis extension
• Schema triggers extension
• cartodb-postgresql CARTO extension

Installation into the db cluster

This requires root privileges

sudo make all install

Execute tests

PGUSER=postgres make installcheck

Build, install & test

One-liner:

sudo PGUSER=postgres make all install installcheck

Install onto a CARTO user's database

psql -U postgres cartodb_dev_user_fe3b850a-01c0-48f9-8a26-a82f09e9b53f_db

and then:

CREATE EXTENSION cdb_dataservices_client;

The extension creation in the user's db requires superuser privileges.

User database configuration

After installing the client extension in a database, you will need to set up your configuration to be able to connect with the server.

-- Point to the dataservices server DB (you can use a specific database for the server or your same user's):
SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('geocoder_server_config', '{ "connection_str": "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=<SERVER_DB_NAME> user=postgres"}');

SELECT CDB_Conf_SetConf('user_config', '{"is_organization": false, "entity_name": "<YOUR_USERNAME>"}');
