[ckan-discuss] Basic CKAN API question

[Ross Jones]

Hi Tim,

It's expecting a POST with a JSON body, you could probably try the following in a GET request instead.

http://datahub.io/api/3/action/group_list?json={}

The parameters don't seem to matter for this type of call.

Regards

Ross

Specifically, I'm trying to fetch the list of groups from datahub.io so I don't have to page through the list manually (it's not in alphabetical order, at least not by group name). But when I follow the docs and go to http://datahub.io/api/3/action/group_list I get the message below.
