[ckan-discuss] HTTP 500 error when adding a new package using the API

[Maali, Fadi]

Thanks a lot David. 
 
It looks that the problem was somehow from the combination of (curl,
Windows and the single quote ')
Rewriting the command to use only double quotes solved the problem:
curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d "{\"name\":\"test\",\
"title\":\"Test package\"}" -H "Authorization:MY-API-KEY"
 
Thanks,
Fadi

Hello

I do not seem to get a 500 for that request with my api key.

The only issue is that there is already a package named "test" in the
database.  The reply to the request gives me.

{"name": ["Package name already exists in database"]}

So it may be something odd with the api key.

David

Hello,

I am getting a 500 Internal server error when trying to add a new
package to http://test.ckan.net

I followed the instructions described in the API documentation
http://packages.python.org/ckan/api.html#example-of-usage

the command I am using is:
curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d '{"name":"test",
"title":"Test package"}' -H "Authorization:MY-API-KEY"

Is something wrong in the request?

Thanks,
Fadi
