A simple form that will build a query string that can then be used to fetch data from the IATI Datastore API.

A webserver running php and php-curl. PHP dependencies are managed using Composer.
# Clone the repository and enter into the root folder
git clone https://github.com/IATI/IATI-Query-Builder.git
cd IATI-Query-Builder
# Install dependencies
composer install
# If running for the first time, prepare the helper script that enables you to get data for current IATI publishers
# This involves copying the file to a filename of your choice and uncommenting the code
cp helpers/refresh_group_data.example.php helpers/YOUR_FILENAME.php
nano helpers/YOUR_FILENAME.php
# Run the script to get data for current IATI publishers using the CKAN API
php helpers/YOUR_FILENAME.php
# You may wish to ensure that the included codelists are up-to-date (optional)
./update-codelists.sh
# Run a webserver
php -S localhost:8000
# Open a browser and visit localhost:8000
The /helpers directory has a script refresh_group_data.example.php that will enable you to get data relating to current IATI publishers.
Running this script will generate a .json file of 'groups' (i.e. publishers) in use on the IATI registry, and this in turn will populate the 'Reporting Organisation' multi-select element in the form.
The script update-codelists.sh will re-download latest versions of the required codelists.
To automate regular updates, you could set-up both of these scripts as a cron job on your server.
