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
