Pagination about ckanapi

Hum. I think you're found a bug in data.gov. The following is the code the will do what you want it to do in any other CKAN catalogue I've tested (so like, 2 other CKAN catalogues...):

myckan.action.package_search(q='fish', rows='20', start=120)

But on data.gov it always returns just the first 10 rows. Consider reporting to https://github.com/GSA/data.gov/

It's weird that the cURL requests work perfectly, though the parameter looks like it's "start" rather than "offset":

Start at offset 1:

$ curl -s "http://catalog.data.gov/api/3/action/package_search?q=fish&rows=1&start=1" -L | python -m json.tool 

                        "state": "active",
                        "vocabulary_id": null
                    }
                ],
                "title": "Statistics of U.S. Businesses (SUSB)",
                "tracking_summary": {
                    "recent": 177,
                    "total": 918
                },
                "type": "dataset",
                "url": null,
                "version": null
            }
        ],
        "search_facets": {}
    },
    "success": true
}

Start at offset (10):

$ curl -s "http://catalog.data.gov/api/3/action/package_search?q=fish&rows=1&start=10" -L | python -m json.tool 

                        "state": "active",
                        "vocabulary_id": null
                    }
                ],
                "title": "Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances",
                "tracking_summary": {
                    "recent": 29,
                    "total": 158
                },
                "type": "dataset",
                "url": null,
                "version": null
            }
        ],
        "search_facets": {}
    },
    "success": true
}

start=X should work exactly the same with ckanapi. closing as it looks like you were just using the wrong parameter. There is no code in ckanapi related to the parameters pased to specific actions.
