The harvest_basket extension comes with a few custom harvesters for different data portals. The list of available harvesters, that must be enabled with ckan.plugins in your config:

• dkan_harvester
• junar_harvester
• socrata_harvester
• arcgis_harvester

This extension also adds some features to extend the basic harvester:

1. Source checkup preview. During the source creation stage the harvester will try to access the remote portal and harvest one dataset to check if it's accessible or not. (TODO: the source checkup interface will be documented soon).
2. Restriction for anonymous users to visit harveser pages
