[ckan-dev] including organization in a package_create

Fri Jun 7 07:12:21 UTC 2013

Hi Paul,

I do not think the owning organisation is documented in the API, but the
parameter is "owner_org". I have some javascript code using the parameter
when I do a simple package create:

function package_create(base_ckan_url, apikey, name, author, org,
 callback){
    var json_data = {"name":name, "author":author, "owner_org":org};
    json_data = JSON.stringify(json_data);
    action_post(base_ckan_url+"/api/3/action/package_create", json_data,
apikey, callback);
}

I do an ajax POST with api key in headers (the action_post() function).

I think the parameter take both ids and names (not display name, but url
name) of organisation. Hope that helps.
