Endpoints require authentication with a username and API key. This can be submitted as GET parameters (eg ?username=demo&api_key=e6282adabed84e39ffe451f8bf6ff1a67c1fc9f2) or as a header (eg Authorization: ApiKey demo:e6282adabed84e39ffe451f8bf6ff1a67c1fc9f2)

Endpoints return JSON. If there's an error, they will return a 4xx or 5xx HTTP error code and a JSON body {'error': True, 'message': 'message describing error'}

Beta endpoints

API endpoints which are still in-flux and that could potentially change.

Package

Provides additional functionality over the start and approve transfer endpoints, for example, wrapping both those steps into a single call.

  • URL: /api/v2beta/package
  • Verb: POST
  • Start a new transfer type.
  • Parameters: JSON body
    • name: Transfer name
    • type: Transfer type, e.g. standard, dataverse, zipped bag, default: standard
    • accession: Accession ID
    • accession_system_id: TBC
    • path: Path relative, or absolute to a storage service transfer source
    • metadata_set_id: TBC
    • auto_apptove: Boolean True or False to set the transfer to auto-approve, default: True
    • wait_until_complete: TBC
  • Response: JSON
    • id: Transfer UUID

Examples:
Only a subset of these options might be needed for most use-cases. A fundamental difference between the package endpoint and others from which a transfer can be initiated is that a storage service transfer location UUID isnt always required. In some cases that might still be ideal.

Starting a transfer using an absolute path: 

   curl -v POST \
     -H "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d "{\
         \"path\": \"$(echo -n '/home/archivematica/archivematica-sampledata/SampleTransfers/DemoTransfer' | base64 -w 0)\", \
         \"name\": \"demo_transfer_absolute\", \
         \"processing_config\": \"automated\", \
         \"type\": \"standard\" \
         }" \
    "http://<archivematica-uri>/api/v2beta/package"

Starting a transfer using an relative path with a transfer source UUID: 

   curl -v POST \
     -H "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d "{\
         \"path\": \"$(echo -n 'd1184f7f-d755-4c8d-831a-a3793b88f760:/archivematica/archivematica-sampledata/SampleTransfers/DemoTransfer' | base64 -w 0)\", \
         \"name\": \"demo_transfer_relative\", \
         \"processing_config\": \"automated\", \
         \"type\": \"standard\" \
         }" \
