NewsItem POST API should update the DataUpdate model? #205

Open slinkp opened 11 years ago

Scrapers can and do use the db.DataUpdate model to record when items were last added. Maybe the POST API should do the same?

It's probably more useful for bulk loading though, which the POST API doesn't currently do. (But maybe should.)
