[ckan-discuss] Delete packages with api - 403 error

Tue Jun 4 13:54:59 BST 2013

Hi Hendrik,

Thank you very much for your answer! 

I changed it to 'api/3/' but the same error have occured. I thought the documentation says that CKAN chooses the last version of API automatically (http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.0/api.html#api-versions).

Nevertheless my problem hasn't changed =(

Maybe is there any problem with creating packages without an organization in CKAN2.0 ?
Or how can I add packages to an organization with API 3?

John
