[ckan-dev] Creating a Datastore resource via the API

Fri Mar 14 07:22:02 UTC 2014

Just noticed this question.  We found in CKAN2.0, we had to include the
owner_org in the keys when creating a resource, e.g.

{'name':resourcename,  'package_id':packagename,  'owner_org':ownername}

- there are examples of this in file ckan_calls.py in
https://github.com/bodacea/ckandump. 

HTH,

Sj.

worked successfully on my own install of CKAN so it looks like the demo
site is stuffed somehow. Jay On 14/03/2014, at 9:08 am, Jay Daley
