Issue using the "Get_file_information_for_package" Storage Service API

[arth...@gmail.com]

Hi,

we are using AM 1.7.1 and 1.7.2 (Storage Service 0.12.0) with AtoM 2.4 (two landscapes on Ubuntu and RedHat)

We urgently need to use the "Get_file_information_for_package" API which is documented here: https://wiki.archivematica.org/Storage_Service_API#Get_file_information_for_package.

When we use it, with call

http://{ipaddress}:{port}/api/v2/file/{sip_uuid}/contents?username=admin&api_key={api_key}

we always get an answer

{

     "files": [],

     "success": true,

     "package": "{sip_uuid}"

}

where the list of dictionaries ("files") is empty.

Actually we are sure that the AIP "{sip_uuid}" contains files in the ... /data/object directory but these are not listed by the JSON stream.

Are we doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The Browse_location_path API also returns no lists.

If we use

http://{ipaddress}:{port}/api/v2/location/{location_uuid}/browse?username=admin&api_key={api_key}&path=/c245/549e/529c/405c/97a0/2c72/4380/87e2/TEST_CCO002-c245549e-529c-405C-97a0-2c72438087e2/data/objects

the returned JSON stream is

{

     "directories": [],

     "entries": [],

     "properties": {}

}

although in that path there are two folders (metadata and submissiondocumentation) and four files (three original and three normalized).

this seems strange to us.

Any idea?

Thanks...

Hi Arthy, 

I had a look into this yesterday. For the first post, I have logged this issue:

* File array is only returned by the API if a transfer is sent to Backlog:

  https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/342

  

For your second question, I can set the query string parameter as follows:

http -v --pretty=format  \

   GET http://127.0.0.1:62081/api/v1/location/d7819189-d8e5-4714-bc11-d76dc9da20f0/browse/?path=/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/www/AIPsStore/9514/27e3/4a9e/4c2e/91fb/b63d/e793/d09d/1-951427e3-4a9e-4c2e-91fb-b63de793d09d/data/objects/ \

   Authorization:"ApiKey test:test"

   

The query is done using httpie.

The version of the Storage Service is 0.x which will soon be 0.13. And the 

endpoint is v1. If I use a v2 endpoint I just need to base encode the string

to the location in the storage service as base64:   

http -v --pretty=format \

    GET http://127.0.0.1:62081/api/v2/location/d7819189-d8e5-4714-bc11-d76dc9da20f0/browse/?path=L3Zhci9hcmNoaXZlbWF0aWNhL3NoYXJlZERpcmVjdG9yeS93d3cvQUlQc1N0b3JlLzk1MTQvMjdlMy80YTllLzRjMmUvOTFmYi9iNjNkL2U3OTMvZDA5ZC8xLTk1MTQyN2UzLTRhOWUtNGMyZS05MWZiLWI2M2RlNzkzZDA5ZC9kYXRhL29iamVjdHMv \

    Authorization:"ApiKey test:test"

   

I can see one of the potential issues with the results you are seeing so have

logged: https://github.com/archivematica/Issues/issues/344

I think keep in mind that the path you need to browse to needs to be absolute,

so to make this work, I am using:

/var/archivematica/sharedDirectory/www/AIPsStore/{uuid-part}/{uuid-part}/etc.

This aligns with what I'm seeing in the Storage Service for that location:

If you see ways that these endpoints can be improved, or recognize a need for

an alternative, feel free to post on the GitHub issues repository. We can begin 

a conversation about what that looks like in there.

I hope this helps!
