[ckan-discuss] Updating A Dataset's Organization

Tue May 6 14:27:24 UTC 2014

I've been attempting to use python and the API, specifically package_owner_org_update, to change the organization to which dataset's belong in CKAN but I keep getting HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error. I'm using a sysadmin api key so that shouldn't be the problem (if I use a non-sysadmin key I get  HTTP Error 403: Forbidden instead).

import urllib2
import urllib
import json

data_string = urllib.quote(json.dumps({'id': 'bike', 'organization_id': 'denver'}))

request = urllib2.Request(
    'http://{url}/api/3/action/package_owner_org_update')

request.add_header('Authorization', 'xxx')

response = urllib2.urlopen(request, data_string)

I get the python HTTP error at this point. I know I have a dataset called bike and an organization called denver. I've tried it using the id string instead of name as well with similar results. I think I'm missing something fairly simple here.
