Update contact details for a dataset through API
I'm trying to write a script that uses a Google Sheet to update metadata for many datasets at once. But it doesn't really work for the contact details field.
This field appears in the [data.json](https://data.melbourne.vic.gov.au/data.json) for the whole site like this:
"contactPoint":{"@type":"vcard:Contact","fn":"<Nobody>","hasEmail":"mailto:[email protected]"},
But it doesn't appear anywhere in the JSON for the dataset itself.
So, if I simply do a PUT on the dataset .json endpoint, there's no way to include a new email contact address. Is there another way to do it?
(If not...how do cities with big open data portals, like SF, do any kind of bulk updates?)
@stevage Checking into where that field in data.json comes from, more detail soon.
