dataset_purge (maybe) doesn't exist in IATI Registry API about ckanext-iati HOT 4 CLOSED

To add on to this: we did that in staging of IATI Registry

Hi @robredpath

I can confirm the data purge works on IATI.
As per the CKAN docs to delete a dataset the endpoint is package_delete
To purge the endpoint is dataset_purge

Also what username is trying to do the, they must be an admin on the publisher they are trying to purge the dataset on. Or else a superadmin

I created a script here which works for me on staging:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
api_token = 'INSERT_OWN_TOKEN'

headers = {
'X-CKAN-API-Key': api_token,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
username = "BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME"
password = "BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD"
auth = HTTPBasicAuth(username, password)

IATI_STAGING_API_URL = 'https://staging.iatiregistry.org/api/action/'
PACKAGE_ID = 'test-cormac-delete-me'

package = requests.get(IATI_STAGING_API_URL + f'package_show?id={PACKAGE_ID}', headers=headers, auth=auth)

print(package)
package_delete = requests.post(IATI_STAGING_API_URL + 'package_delete',
json={'id': PACKAGE_ID},
headers=headers,
auth=auth
)
print(package_delete.dict)

package_purge = requests.post(IATI_STAGING_API_URL + 'dataset_purge',
json={'id': PACKAGE_ID},
headers=headers,
auth=auth
)
print(package_purge.dict)

@cormachallinanderilinx
Apologies, I was testing using the endpoint package_purge. Purging works fine when using the endpoint dataset_purge.

Thank you

Thanks for looking into this @cormachallinanderilinx; glad you got it sorted @PG-Momik

Now that's a trap for the unwary!
