Off the top of my head, this might be happening if your user account (that the API key is associated with) isn't an admin account -- only admins can create Data Libraries.

Hi Dannon. Thanks! I had been experimenting with BioBlend and forgot to add the /api/ on the url.

./example_watch_folder.py 8c25bc83f6f9e4001dd21eb7b64f063f http://localhost:8080/api/ /Users/Rob/Documents/galaxy-db/input/ /Users/Rob/Documents/galaxy-db/output/ "API Imports" 2a56795cad3c7db3

However, I am now running into a new error when it tries to create the API Imports folder

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./example_watch_folder.py", line 87, in <module>
main(api_key, api_url, in_folder, out_folder, data_library, workflow )

File "./example_watch_folder.py", line 30, in main
library_id = library[0]['id']
KeyError: 0

(This is coming from the section that creates 'API Imports' library if it doesn't already exist)
24: for library in libs:
25:      if library['name'] == data_library:
26:         library_id = library['id']
27:  if not library_id:
28:        lib_create_data = {'name':data_library}
29:        library = submit(api_key, api_url + 'libraries', lib_create_data, return_formatted=False)
30:        library_id = library[0]['id']
As I mentioned, I'm not familiar with python, but I can't see where 'library[0]['id']' is set or is in scope, since this seems to be the item in the iterator above this section.
Cheers,
Rob

The second argument there should point to the url of Galaxy's API --
in this case http://localhost:8080/api, I'm guessing.
