Hello

I want to publish a dataset that is in a ZIP format. The source is a URL that I don’t want to share for safety/server load reasons. Unfortunately, ODS unzip it automatically.

I just want an other URL pointing toward the same zip file… is it possible?

Thank you

BonjourJe souhaite publier un jeu de données au format ZIP. La source est une URL que je ne souhaite pas partager pour des raisons de sécurité/charge du serveur. Malheureusement, ODS le décompresse automatiquement. Je souhaite simplement une autre URL pointant vers le même fichier zip… est-ce possible ? Merci 

Hello Tristan!

 

Sorry for this late reply,.

Unfortunately, we automatically unzip zip files to extract their content and put it in a dataset. We cannot create a dataset out of a zip file since it does not contain any data except the files that are inside.

If I understand correctly, you would need a dataset where you only have one record, and its content would be an URL pointing to the file ?

Best regards,

Anthony


Hello,

Yes, I would like to provide a URL that points to a zip file, similar to what is possible on this platform: https://transport.data.gouv.fr/datasets/syndicat-mixte-des-transports-en-commun-de-lagglomeration-clermontoise-smtc-ac-reseau-t2c-gtfs-gtfs-rt

The zip file I want to publish is hosted on a server that I prefer not to make publicly visible, which is why I am considering using ODS.

Is there a solution available with ODS?

Best regards,

Tristan


Hi,

 

When you create a dataset, you have the opportunity to add an attachment. The attachment size is limited to 240mb.

Other than that, I don’t see any solution to the problem you are facing.

I hope this solution works for you. If it does not, please get in touch with your CSM so we could figure out a custom solution for this.

Regards,

Anthony
