[ckan-dev] CKAN Dataset Update

Tue Feb 28 10:43:46 UTC 2017

Hi Abdel-Rahman,

The API operations are not atomic, meaning that you need to send the
full object including the changes you want to the package_update
endpoint. Something like the following (using ckanapi [1]):

# Get current metadata
my_dataset = ckan.action.package_show(id='xxx')

# Add new resource
my_dataset['resources'].append({'format': 'csv', 'url':
'http://example.com', ...})

# Send the new update
ckan.action.package_update(**my_dataset)

Hope this helps,

Adrià
