Submitting items using dspace 7 REST APTI

[Aroldo Rique Júnior]

Guys, is anyone using the Dspace 7.x REST API to submit items?

I can log in and check the status normally. I've already learned the /server/api/authn/login and /server/api/authn/status calls.

I haven't been able to submit an item yet. From what I understand, first I authenticate and then I look for an id passing the uuid of the collection as a parameter, through the REST call /server/api/submission/workspaceitems?owningCollection=c57788fc-ad35-4e86-9b3c-764bad9d8bca

And then, how do I submit my form fields? With which REST call? I created a test form with just one metadata: dc.title.

Checking how the submission process occurs in the Chrome inspector, I saw that the REST call /server/api/submission/workspaceitems/155687 is executed with PATCH. Wouldn't it be POST?

Does anyone have a complete example of item submission using the REST API?

Att,

Guys, I finally learned how to perform a full submission here. After the user authenticates, you need to obtain an id for the item: POST server/api/submission/workspaceitems?owningCollection={collection id}

Then call PATCH server/api/submission/workspaceitems/{item id} with JSON (I created a test collection whose items only have one field):

[
    {
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/sections/teste/dc.title",
        "value": [
            {
                "authority": null,
                "confidence": -1,
                "display": "AROLDO TEST WITH REST",
                "language": null,
                "otherInformation": null,
                "place": 0,
                "value": "AROLDO TEST WITH REST"
            }
        ]
    },
{
        "op": "add",
        "path": "/sections/license/granted",
        "value": "true"
    }
]

Finally, to submit the item to the workflow, POST /server/api/workflow/workflowitems passing as data /server/api/submission/workspaceitems/{item id}.

Hi Aroldo,

I'm trying to do the same thing as you. I need to do a /server/api/workflow/workflowitems to add items but I couldn't. Could you please detail the steps you followed?

Thank you very much

Hi all, a good place to start is https://github.com/dspace/restcontract which describes the endpoints and the kind of request and response data involved. There are often examples given as curl commands.

If looking at example code is preferred, you can also see some examples of simple API usage here in this basic Python REST library: https://github.com/the-library-code/dspace-rest-python - creating, updating, deleting basic objects like items, bitstreams, collections and communities is covered and it is slowly getting updated to fulfill more functionality.

Hi all,

I also wanted to note that we have a guide for submission via the REST API in the contract here: https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/submission.md

If anyone finds ways to enhance that guide, I'd also welcome improvements!
