fawcett / ckanApiPurgeOrgExample.py
Last active December 30, 2015 03:49
A quick example on how to purge a group from a CKAN instance via the CKAN API. You will need to edit the code to set the values for your CKAN URI, API key, and the name of the group that you wish to purge. Note that this example requires the ckanap Python module: https://github.com/open-data/ckanapi
import ckanapi
ckanUrl = 'http://uri.to.your.ckan.instance'
apiKey='apiKeyForCkanSysadmin'
groupName='nameOfGroupToBePurged'
def purgeCkanGroup(ckanUrl,apiKey,groupId):
"""
This function purges an organization from a CKAN instance via the CKAN API.
