For more complex interactions such as file uploads, we may be much better off using the ckanclient in Python: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14947468/uploading-a-file-through-ckans-api-1-8-how-to-do-it
If you're just learning or trying new things out, take a look at the CKAN FileStore docs: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.7.3/maintaining/filestore.html#filestore-api
For example, you can upload a file using curl with the following syntax:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ curl 'https://demo.ckan.org/api/action/resource_create' -H "Authorization:<API_KEY>" --form upload=@<FILE_TO_UPLOAD> --form package_id=<DATASET_NAME_TO_ATTACH_FILE>
