[ckan-dev] add organizations programmatically

Fri Dec 11 15:46:38 UTC 2015

Dear all,

I would like to add organizations programmatically reading the input 
from a JSON file.
I have already an extension in which I read the JSON files but I am not 
sure how to proceed to create the organizations (with extra fields) and 
checking if they exist already.
Is there something similar already around ? Or can someone tell me how I 
have to send the parameters ?
I am using CKAN 2.2
I tried to put some log.debug statements in the file 
ckan/ckan/logic/action/create.py and created an organization from the 
interface, but I couldn't find the log messages, i.e. the program was 
not used ?

I have also seen 
http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.2/api.html#ckan.logic.action.create.organization_create
but I am not sure how to use it.

Thanks

Hilde
