[ckan-dev] Package Create API

Thu Feb 4 06:14:41 UTC 2016

Thanks - this is the format that worked - it seems name works as long as
you refer to the *name* and not the *title* like I did....

{
  "name": "test13",
  "title": "Test 13",
  "description": "something here",
  "owner_org": "test",
  "notes": "notes",
   "groups": [
    {"name":"transportation"}
  ]
}

Thank you,

Mike
