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

[Nigel Babu]

Hello Jay,

I tried the following on demo and it worked fine:

curl -X POST http://demo.ckan.org/api/3/action/datastore_create -H
'Authorization: mykey' -d '{ "resource" : { "package_id" :
"rbnz-c1-monetary-aggregates" } }'

I'm guessing there was a small typo that threw your test off.
