Ckan atom feeds: watch ckan feeds on a cms website

Question

I would like to display personalized ckan feeds on a cms website

I have a django cms website. The website is using RSS Plugin to display ckan feeds. Currently, I am using http://thedatahub.org/feeds/dataset.atom as described here to show ckan feed on my csm website. This works well but it shows public feed for a whole CKAN instance. But I would like to show private feed for the authenticated user. I am using django-allauth to authenticate users across the two websites.

So I expect to retrieve ckan feeds from ckan and display it on the cms plugin. I only need feeds that the user subscribed to and not public feeds.

I found a solution to this question. First, we need the correct API endpoint to get current user dashboard activities. For my case I used /api/3/action/dashboard_activity_list_html. This API endpoint needs CKAN API key to authenticate the user.

So something like this will work

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
api_url_base = (
        "https://myurl/api/3/action/dashboard_activity_list_html"
    )
req = Request(api_url_base)
req.add_header("Authorization", api_key)
with urlopen(req) as response:
    response_body = response.read()
return response_body
