Archivematica API¶

The Archivematica API provides:

Coverage of some basic workflow functionality.
Proxy support to the Storage Service.
Exposure to unit status or processing configuration details.

Resources and endpoints¶

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

Transfer
Ingest
Administration
Unit
Other
Beta

Transfer¶

Transfer refers to the process of moving any set of digital objects into Archivematica and turning the materials into a Submission Information Package (SIP). The Transfer tab prepares your content for preservation in Archivematica.

Start transfer¶

POST /api/transfer/start_transfer/ Initiates a transfer in Archive matica.

Request body parameters:

Truco

The parameters in the following table can be submitted as a JSON object with key-value pairs in the request body.

`name`	Name of transfer
`type`	Type of the new transfer (e.g. standard, unzipped bag, zipped bag, dspace).
`accession`	Accession number of new transfer.
`paths[]`	List of base64-encoded `<location_uuid>:<relative_path>` to be copied into the new transfer. Location UUIDs should be associated with this pipe- line, and relative path should be relative to the location.
`row_ids[]`	ID of the associated TransferMetadataSet for disk image ingest. Can be provided as `[""]`.

Example request:

curl --request POST \

        }
    ]
}

Approve transfer(s)¶

POST /api/transfer/approve/ Approves a transfer awaiting initiation.

Request body parameters:

`type`	Type of the transfer (e.g. standard, unzipped bag, zipped bag, dspace) to approve.
`directory`	Directory the transfer is in currently.

Example request:

curl -X POST \
  http://my_archivematica_instance.archivematica.org/api/transfer/approve/ \

Example response:

{
    "message": "Approval successful.",
    "uuid": "a8791a46-ac73-4c7d-8c60-0673524226e3"
}

Status¶

GET /api/transfer/status/<transfer UUID>/ Returns the status of a transfer.

Response definitions:

`status`	One of FAILED, REJECTED, USER_INPUT, COMPLETE or PROCESSING	string
`name`	Name of the transfer, e.g. «imgs»	string
`sip_uuid`	If status is COMPLETE, this field will exist with either the UUID of the SIP or “BACKLOG”	string
`microservice`	Name of the current microservice	string
`directory`	Name of the directory, e.g. «imgs-52dd0c01-e803- 423a-be5f-b592b5d5d61c»	string
`path`	Full path to the transfer, e.g. «/var/archivematica/ sharedDirectory/watched Directories/SIPCreation/ completedTransfers/imgs- 52dd0c01-e803-423a- be5f-b592b5d5d61c/»	string
`message`	«Fetched status from <transfer UUID> successfully.»	string
`type`	«transfer»	string
`uuid`	UUID of the transfer, e.g. «52dd0c01-e803-423a- be5f-b592b5d5d61c»	string

Nota

For consumers of this endpoint, it is possible for Archivematica to return a status of COMPLETE without a sip_uuid. Consumers looking to use the UUID of the AIP that will be created following Ingest should therefore test for both a status of COMPLETE and the existence of sip_uuid that does not also equal BACKLOG to ensure that they retrieve it. This might mean an additional call to the status endpoint while this data becomes available.

Example request:

curl -X GET \
  http://my_archivematica_instance.archivematica.org/api/transfer/
  status/89fd478d-c896-461a-baec-5d1faf661020/ \
  -H 'Authorization: ApiKey [_your_username_]:[_your_ApiKey_]' \
  -H 'Host: my_archivematica_instance.archivematica.org'
  

Example response:

{
    "status": "COMPLETE",
    "name": "ab",
    "microservice": "Check transfer directory for objects",
    "directory": "ab-89fd478d-c896-461a-baec-5d1faf661020",

    ]
}

Start reingest¶

Nota

The Start reingest endpoint complements the Reingest AIP endpoint on the Storage Service’s end. When a reingest has been initiated, Archivematica fetches the AIP from storage, extracts and runs fixity on it to verify its integrity. Then Archivematica will set up the environment as per the reingest type before the Storage Service endpoint calls the Archivematica Start reingest endpoint.

POST /api/transfer/reingest Starts a full reingest.

Request body parameters:

`name`	Name of the AIP. The AIP should also be found at `%sharedDirectory%/tmp/<name>`.
`uuid`	UUID of the AIP to reingest.

Response definitions:

`message`	«Approval successful.»
`reingest_uuid`	UUID of the reingested transfer.

Ingest¶

Ingest refers to the process by which digital objects are packaged into SIPs and run through microservices that enable normalization, packaging into an AIP, and generation of a DIP.

Status¶

GET /ingest/status/<unit_UUID>/ Returns status of the SIP.

Response definitions:

`status`	One of FAILED, REJECTED, USER_INPUT, COMPLETE or PROCESSING.

Beta¶

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

Package¶

POST /api/v2beta/package Starts a new transfer type.

Request body parameters (mandatory):

`name`	Transfer name.
`path`	Path relative, or absolute to a storage service transfer source.

Request body parameters (optional):

`type`	Transfer name.
`processing_config`	Processing configuration, e.g. default, automated, default: default
`accession`	Accession ID.
`access_system_id`	Access system ID (see Docs).
`metadata_set_id`	Used to link to metadata sets added via the user interface. It’s safe to ignore this for now since metadata can’t be associated to transfer via the API at the moment.
`auto_approve`	Boolean true or false to set the transfer to auto-approve, default: true.

Response definitions:

`id`	Transfer UUID (Note: as the package endpoint allows the caller to interact with Archivematica asynchronously it does not guarantee a transfer has started. The caller must use the UUID in the response to verify it has begun or any errors that were encountered initiating one.)

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 \
    --request POST \
    --header "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data "{\
       \"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 \
    --request POST \
    --header "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data "{\
       \"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\" \
      }" \
        "http://<archivematica-uri>/api/v2beta/package"

Validate¶

/api/v2beta/validate/<validator>

Available in Archivematica 1.10+. This endpoint can be used to validate CSVs against embedded sets of rules. Currently works with Avalon Media System Manifest (``avalon``) and rights.csv (``rights``) files.

In the future, this endpoint can be extended to support validation for metadata.csv or archivesspaceids.csv, or other institutionally-based rules.

Response definitions:

`valid`	Boolean true or false.
`reason`	Includes validation error.

Usage example (assuming that avalon.csv exists):

curl \
  --data-binary "@avalon.csv" \
  --header "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
  --header "Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8" \
    http://127.0.0.1:62080/api/v2beta/validate/avalon

Response examples

200 OK:

{
  "valid": true
}

400 Bad Request (expect reason to include different validation errors):

{
  "valid": false,
  "reason": "Administrative data must include reference name and author."
}

404 Not Found:

{
  "error": true,
  "message": "Unknown validator. Accepted values: avalon"
}
