(character) a URL for the dataset's source (optional)

version

(list of relationship dictionaries) - see package_relationship_create for the format of relationship dictionaries (optional)

relationships_as_subject

(list of relationship dictionaries) - see package_relationship_create for the format of relationship dictionaries (optional)

groups

(data.frame) the groups to which the dataset belongs, each row should have one or more of the following columns which identify an existing group: 'id' (the id of the group, string), or 'name' (the name of the group, string), to see which groups exist call group_list(). see example (optional)

Curl args passed on to verb-POST (optional)

Examples

## Not run: 
# Setup
ckanr_setup(url = "https://demo.ckan.org/", key = getOption("ckan_demo_key"))

# create a package
## Example 1
(res <- package_create("foobar4", author="Jane Doe"))
res$author

## Example 2 - create package, add a resource
(res <- package_create("helloworld", author="Jane DOe"))

# include a group
# package_create("brownbear", groups = data.frame(id = "some-id"))


## End(Not run)
