Re: Attemping to post JSON through the web API

 

You are probably aware of this, but if there is no particular reason you
want to post to api/organisationUnits, it will work with multiple orgunits
if you wrap it like this

{
    "organisationUnits": [
        ...,
        ...,
        ...,
        ...,
        etc
    ]
}

and post it to api/metaData instead.
