      Rotterdam: GML - Servicepunt Sport

      Description

      When a dataset isn’t able to generate a preview, the “download” button that
      are in the “More information” area changes its name and symbol and becomes
      a “API Endpoint” button, but its functionality still are allowing you to
      download the resource. This is analogous to the “Go to resource” issue that
      we reported before but not exactly the same, because only the “More
      information” area download button changed its name.

      As well as it says nothing about a download you are going to think that
      button have another functionality relative to the API, but instead of that,
      the button asked us about downloading the resource.

      This issue may generate confusion to a new user, so we suggest to rename
      that button again to “Download”.

      We include a picture which shows where the “API Endpoint” is placed.

        When a resource_type field of any resource is set as api, ckan treats the resource as an api resource. If you check the additional info parameters you´ll see that field.
