[ckan-dev] ckanapi bulk_update_* does not behave as expected

[Wiebke Toussaint]

Thanks a lot! I managed to update individual datasets by setting private=true.


The bulk actions still don't do anything (also tried bulk_update_delete and datasets remain on site). I see that one of the parameters they call for is org_id (int). I've tried setting this to my organisation name and id, both of which are strings. Could this be the problem? Not sure what the integer is that's required as the value.


I've installed the hierarchy extension. Though unlikely, that may be an issue?


Thanks for assisting,

Wiebke

The ckanapi CLI hides success envelopes returned in CKAN's API response because the first thing that a user would do is strip that off. The bulk_update_* actions don't currently return anything, so 'null' is the correct response.

You can create a private dataset by setting private=true (either as a string or a proper JSON true value).

Hey


I've installed ckan 2.5.2 via package install (live here http://energydata.uct.ac.za<http://energydata.uct.ac.za/>) and have successfully used API commands to get and post datasets. However, I have not been able to create a private dataset (could not find the parameter relating to 'visibility'). I'm thus trying to do a bulk update from public to private (and vice versa) with the following CLI command:


ckanapi action bulk_update_private datasets=my_dataset org_id=my_org_id -r http://energydata.uct.ac.za -a myapikey


I keep receiving a 'null' response, instead of the anticipated 'success'. A similar issue seems to be recorded here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/2662

Running: >>> r = requests.post('http://localhost:5000/api/3/action/bulk_update_private', json={'datasets':['a-dataset'], 'org_id': 'another-organization'}, headers={'Authorization':apikey}) >>> r...

Can anybody point me in the right direction of where I'm going wrong? Does the problem lie with the API or with me using it incorrectly? Is there a parameter I'm missing?


Kind regards,

Wiebke
