Archivematica 1.14.1 is a legacy release, and these documents are no longer being maintained.

Storage Service API

The Storage Service API enables access to storage areas to which the Storage Service has access.

Resources and endpoints

Endpoints for the Storage Service API have been organized into the following resource categories:

Pipeline

A pipeline is a representation of an Archivematica installation that is assigned a unique universal identifier (UUID) when it is registered with the Storage Service. The UUID provides information about your server and all associated clients.

For each Storage Service API resource, you can display a detailed schema by adding “schema” to the get all URL like in the following example:

curl \
    --request GET \
    --header "Authorization: ApiKey test:95141fc645ed97a95893f1f865d24687f89a27ad" \
        'http://localhost:8000/api/v2/location/schema/?format=json

This schema, among other things, describes the fields in the resource (including the schema URI of related resource fields) and the fields that allow filtering. Valid filtering values are: Django ORM filters (e.g. startswith, exact, lte, etc.) or 1 or 2. If a filtering field is set to 2 it can be filtered over the related resource fields. For example, the locations could be filtered by their pipeline UUID setting it in a request parameter formatted with two underscore chars: /api/v2/location/?pipeline__uuid=<uuid>

Space

A storage space contains all the information necessary to connect to the physical storage. It is where the files are stored. Protocol-specific information, like an NFS export path and hostname, or the username of a system accessible only via SSH, is stored here. All locations must be contained in a space.

access_protocol Protocol that the space uses; must be searched based on the database code.
path Space’s path.
size Maximum size in bytes. Can use greater than (size__gt=1024), less than (size__lt=1024), and other Django field lookups.
used Bytes stored in this space. Can use greater than (size__gt=1024), less than (size__lt=1024), and other Django field lookups.

Create new location

POST /api/v2/location/

Added in v0.12 - see issue `367 <https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica-storage-service/issues/367>`_ and issue `37 <https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/37>`_.

This endpoint creates a location in the storage service, but it doesn’t actually create the directory to which the location points.

Request body parameters:

description Information about the space.
pipeline URI of the pipeline.
space URI of the space.
default If ‘true’ this location will be the default for it’s purpose.
purpose

Accepts the following possible values:

AR (AIP_RECOVERY)

AS (AIP_STORAGE)

CP (CURRENTLY_PROCESSING)

DS (DIP_STORAGE)

SD (SWORD_DEPOSIT)

SS (STORAGE_SERVICE_INTERNAL)

BL (BACKLOG)

TS (TRANSFER_SOURCE)

RP (REPLICATOR)

Move files to this location

POST /api/v2/location/<UUID>/ Move files to specified pipe- line location.

Request body parameters:

origin_location UUID of the pipeline on which to reingest AIP.
pipeline URI of the pipeline. Both Locations must be associated with this pipeline.
files List of dicts containing source and destination. The source and destination are paths relative to their Location of the files to be moved.

Note

Intended for use with creating Transfers, SIPs, etc and other cases where files need to be moved but not tracked by the storage service.

Browse location path

GET /api/v2/location/<UUID>/browse/ Returns location paths that are base64 encoded.

Query string parameters:

entries List of entries in path, files or directories.
directories List of directories in path. Subset of entries.

SWORD collection

GET, POST /api/v2/location/<UUID>/ sword/collection Part of the Archivematica storage service REST API. The Storage Service also talks to the Archivematica dashboard, however, to notify it that a transfer created from a SWORD deposit has been approved for processing.

The Archivematica Sword API enables 3rd party applications to automate the process of creating Transfers.

1. Create Transfer - set the name and other metadata about a Transfer Populate Transfer - add/edit/update digital objects in a Transfer, and associated metadata.

2. Finalize Transfer - indicates that the Transfer is ready to start processing. After content has been deposited, if users have access to the deposit directory they can also manually manipulate the deposit directory aside from any manipulation using the API.

3. Once a Transfer has been created, populated and finalized, Archivematica will begin processing that Transfer.

Example request:

curl \
    --location \
    --request GET \
        'http://test.archivematica.net:8000/api/v2/location/6286affb-6a2b-4ac7-b81e-192d84ede7c6/browse/'

Package

A package is a bundle of one or more files transferred from an external service; for example, a package may be an AIP, a backlogged transfer, or a DIP. Each package is stored in a location.

Get all packages

GET /api/v2/file/ Retrieves information about all packages for all available storage locations.

Example request:

curl \
    --location \
    --request GET \
    --header 'Authorization: ApiKey test_user:ow7ioGh2reephua8uPaiWee3EiHeev6u' \

Create new package

POST /api/v2/file/

Creates a database entry tracking the package (AIP, transfer, etc). If the package is an AIP, DIP or AIC and the current_location is an AIP or DIP storage location it also moves the files from the source to destination location. If the package is a Transfer and the current_location is transfer backlog, it is also moved.

This is handled through the modified obj_create function, which calls Package.store_aip or Package.backlog_transfer.

Query string parameters:

uuid UUID of the new package.
origin_location URI of the Location where the package is currently.
origin_path Path to the package, relative to the origin_location.
current_location URI of the Location where the package should be stored.
current_path Path where the package should be stored, relative to the current_location.
package_type Type of package this is. One of: AIP, AIC, DIP, transfer, SIP, file, deposit.
size Size of the package.
origin_pipeline URI of the pipeline the package is from.
related_package_uuid UUID of a package that is related to this one. E.g. UUID of a DIP when storing an AIP

Get package details

GET /api/v2/file/<UUID> Retrieves information about a package.

Example request:

curl \
    --location
    --request GET \
    --header 'Authorization: ApiKey test:ow7ioGh2reephua8uPaiWee4EiHeav7u' \
        'http://test.archivematica.net:8000/api/v2/file/9390594f-84c2-457d-bd6a-618f21f7c954/'

Update package contents

PUT /api/v2/file/<UUID>

Updates the contents of a package during reingest. If the package is an AIP or AIC, currently stored in an AIP storage location, and the ‘reingest’ parameter is set, it will call Package.finish_reingest and merge the new AIP with the existing one.

This is implemented using a modified obj_update which calls obj_update_hook.

Request body parameters:

reingest Flag to mark that this is reingest. Reduces chance to accidentally modify an AIP.
uuid UUID of the existing package.
origin_location URI of the Location where the package is currently.
origin_path Path to the package, relative to the origin_location.
current_location URI of the Location where the package should be stored
package_type Type of package this is. One of: AIP, AIC.
size Size of the package.
origin_pipeline URI of the pipeline the package is from. This must be the same pipeline reingest was started on (tracked through Package.misc_attributes.reingest_pipeline).

Update package metadata

PATCH /api/v2/file/<UUID> Updates the metadata stored in the database for the package. Currently, this is used to update the reingest status.

Note

Currently, this always sets Package.misc_attributes.reingest to None, regardless of what value was actually passed in.

This is implemented using a modified obj_update which calls obj_update_hook. update_in_place also helps.

Delete package request

POST /api/v2/file/<UUID>/delete_aip/ Requests package deletion.

Request body parameters (mandatory):

event_reason Rationale for deleting the AIP.
pipeline UUID of the pipeline the delete request is from.
user_id User ID requesting the deletion. This is the ID of the user on the pipeline, and must be an integer greater than 0.
user_email Email of the user requesting the deletion.

Example request:

curl \
    --location \
    --request POST \
    --header 'Authorization: ApiKey test:ow7ioGh2reephua8uPaiWee4EiHeev2z' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Example response:

{
    "message": "Delete request created successfully.",
    "id": 3
}

Recover AIP request

POST /api/v2/file/<UUID>/recover_aip/ Requests package recovery.

Request body parameters (mandatory):

event_reason Rationale for recovering the AIP.
pipeline URI of the pipeline the recovery request is from.
user_id User ID requesting the recovery. This is the ID of the user on the pipeline, and must be an integer greater than 0.
user_email Email of the user requesting the recovery.

Example request:

curl \
    --location \
    --request POST \
    --header 'Authorization: ApiKey test:ow7ioGh2reephua8uPaiWee4EiHeev2z' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

    "message": "Recover request created successfully.",
    "id": 4
}

Download single file

GET, HEAD /api/v2/file/<UUID>/extract_file/ Checks if a package is locally available and returns a single file from the package.

Note

(Future improvement) HEAD and GET should not perform the same functions. HEAD should be updated to not return the file, and to only check for existence. Currently, the storage service has no way to check if a file exists except by downloading and extracting this AIP.

Response:

Returns a single file from the Package. If the package is compressed, it downloads the whole AIP and extracts it.

This responds to HEAD because AtoM uses HEAD to check for the existence of a file.

If the package is in Arkivum, the package may not actually be available. This endpoint checks if the package is locally available. If it is, it is returned as normal. If not, it returns 202 and emails the administrator about the attempted access.

Download package

GET, HEAD

/api/v2/file/<UUID>/download/

/api/v2/file/<UUID>/download/ <chunk number>/ (for LOCKSS harvesting)

Checks if a package is available and returns the entire package as a single file.

If the package is in Arkivum, the package may not actually be available. This endpoint checks if the package is locally available. If it is, it is returned as normal. If not, it returns 202 and emails the administrator about the attempted access.

Get pointer file

GET /api/v2/file/<UUID>/pointer_file/ Checks if a pointer file is available and returns the contents of the pointer file.

Check fixity

GET //api/v2/file/<UUID>/check_fixity/ Performs a bag check and updates the Storage Service database with the results of that check.

Query string parameters:

force_local If true, download and run fixity on the AIP locally, instead of using the Space-provided fixity if available.

Response definitions (JSON):

success True if the verification succeeded, False if the verification failed, None if the scan could not start.
message Human-readable string explaining the report; it will be empty for successful scans.
failures List of 0 or more errors.
timestamp ISO-formated string with the datetime of the last fixity check. If the check was performed by an external system, this will be provided by that system. If not provided,or on error, it will be None.

AIP storage callback request

GET /api/v2/file/<UUID>/send_callback/post_store/ Gets callbacks configured to run post-storage for given AIP.

Tip

In the Archivematica Storage Service versions 0.15 and above, this endpoint has been extended to support callbacks for AIP, AIC and DIP stored events.

Note

When using this endpoint, AIPs must be locally stored for the API call to work properly currently.
