submit_request_v1_requests_post
Submit a dataset request to the review queue. Requires a user description (min 20 characters) and optionally accepts landing page or download URLs for validation and metadata scraping.
Instructions
POST /v1/requests (auth: Bearer OPENDATA_API_KEY) — Submit Request — Submit a new dataset request to the review queue.
Description-first intake: user_description is required (>=20 chars,
enforced by the schema). URL fields are optional. When a landing_page_url
is provided, we run URL validation + a lightweight metadata scrape so the
admin queue can show a page title and scraped meta description. We do NOT
auto-discover or ingest — fulfillment is fully manual.
For description-only submissions, we run a quick search to surface a potential dataset match (hint only — the request is still created).
