CSW (PyCSW)

CSW or PyCSW provides the Catalog Service for Web (CSW) API for accessing geospatial metadata contained in the CKAN Catalog. A nightly job imports all datasets from CKAN. Historically, it has been treated as a component of Catalog, but it should function as its own application with a dependency on Catalog.

CSW comes in two flavors, csw-all (/csw-all) and csw-collection (/csw). csw-all exposes all 3+ million datasets while csw-collection only exposes the top-level Collections.
