Usage

Simple use example:

python3 ckan-dataset-downloader.py --dataset-id "tidy-consumption-data" \
                                   --ckan-api-key <get from your CKAN profile>

This will download the contents of the dataset tidy-consumption-data to whichever directory you run the script.

Filtered example:

python3 ckan-dataset-downloader.py --dataset-id "tidy-consumption-data" \
                                   --ckan-api-key <get from your CKAN profile> \
                                   --resource-name-regex "shard 0" \
                                   --destination-dir "/tmp/tidy-consumption-data/"

This only selects resources from the dataset tidy-consumption-data that contains the string shard 0. It also downloads to the directory /tmp/tidy-consumption-data.
