Answer 1

To harvest from another CKAN instance you can use the ckan_harvester plugin provided with ckanext-harvest. You only need to implement the IHarvester interface if you want to harvest from a different data source for which a harvester isn't available (for example a proprietary database format).

To enable the ckan_harvester plugin, add it to the list of plugins in your CKAN INI file and restart CKAN. You then need to create and configure a new harvester in the CKAN web UI at http://your-ckan-instance/harvest. Finally, make sure to actually run the configured harvesters using the command line tools (or cron).

Refer to the documentation for details.
