Upload thumbnail with API

[alexis messant]

Hello,

I am currently working on developing an application (PHP) to publish datasets automatically with postgresql database and the available APIs (Sword and Native).

I wanted to know if there was an API allowing the upload of a thumbnail for a dataset ?

Thank you,

Hi! There is a fairly extensive API for managing thumbnails but I don't think it's documented! (Please feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues about this.)

For now if you look at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.15/src/test/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/UtilIT.java#L1301 you'll see method names like this:

- showDatasetThumbnailCandidates
- getDatasetThumbnail
- getDatasetThumbnailMetadata
- useThumbnailFromDataFile
- uploadDatasetLogo
- removeDatasetThumbnail

I hope this helps!

Phil

Phil,

What is "uploadDatasetLogo"?

Can you have a different image for the dataset thumbnail that isn't one of the files uploaded?

Yes. "Upload an image file from your computer to use as the dataset thumbnail. While by default your thumbnail image is drawn from a file in your dataset, this will allow you to upload a separate image file to use as your dataset thumbnail." http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.15/user/dataset-management.html#thumbnails

The downside right now is that the image is only displayed at a small resolution. We hope to fix at least the backend of this some day as part of https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/5679

Hello! 

Could enquire if there is an API to upload a thumbnail for a particular file (not dataset)?

[Philip Durbin]

No, you can't upload a thumbnail for a datafile (via GUI or API). Thumbnails for datafiles are derived from the content of the datafle (images, especially). There's no concept of having a thumbnail for a datafile that's uploaded separately. You are welcome to open an issue about this if you'd like: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues
