Deirdre Kirmis (Mar 21 2024 at 17:43): Deirdre Kirmis (Mar 21 2024 at 17:43):This is probably a dumb question, but can anyone recommend what BlockedAPIPolicy and BlockedAPIEndpoints should be set to to allow access to "Ask The Data"? I have it installed but getting errors that the API endpoint is not authorized
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 18:31):Well, I'm confused. They should be somewhat unrelated.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 18:32):When you say you want to access Ask the Data, do you mean the installation Harvard Dataverse uses at https://askdataverse.shinyapps.io/askdata ? Or are you installing Ask the Data somewhere?
Deirdre Kirmis (Mar 21 2024 at 19:03):just adding it as an external tool from our QA site per https://github.com/IQSS/askdataverse/tree/main/askthedata#adding-askthedata-as-an-external-tool .. yea sorry I didn't think that through so my question doesn't make sense (I warned you)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 19:22):Ok, you're using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IQSS/askdataverse/main/askthedata/askthedata.json which has this:
"toolUrl": "https://askdataverse.shinyapps.io/askthedata",
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 19:22):So the same toolUrl we use at Harvard Dataverse.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 19:23):You shouldn't have to touch your settings for blocked API endpoints, etc.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 21 2024 at 19:23):Ask the Data uses normal, boring endpoints to download data.
