Hi Isiah, The reason for it not working (at least at first glance) is that you are posing to the /api/metadata endpoint. Thus, you need to tell the server what you are trying to import. In this case, its organisation units.
I think changing this to r <- POST(url, authenticate(dest.user, dest.pass), body = toJSON(list(organisationUnits=new_org), auto_unbox = TRUE), content_type_json()) should work. The example works because the file <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jason-p-pickering/dhis2-data-munging/master/ous/ous.json> looks like this: {"created":"2016-08-10","organisationUnits":[{"id":"u6yjgvIMzKn",... Hope this helps and best regards, Jason On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 6:34 AM, Isaiah Nyabuto <isaiahnyab...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear Jason and Dhis2 Community, > > I am following your guide on bootstrapping > <https://github.com/jason-p-pickering/dhis2-data-munging/blob/master/bootstrap/bootstrap.Rmd> > dhis2 with R while trying to import metadata using the API. > > I do not understand why my metadata is not imported.
