[ckan-dev] add organizations programmatically

Fri Dec 11 16:13:19 UTC 2015

ckanapi has a command-line interface useful for creating/updating
organizations https://github.com/ckan/ckanapi#bulk-operations

ckanapi load organizations

will accept organizations given on stdin in JSON lines format. You can
use "ckanapi dump organizations" to see the format it expects. When an
organization is loaded with a name that already exists its fields are
updated instead of created automatically.
