swh.web.api.views.metadata.api_raw_extrinsic_metadata_swhid(request: Request, target: str)[source]#
GET /api/1/raw-extrinsic-metadata/swhid/(target)#

Returns raw extrinsic metadata collected on a given object.

Parameters:

  • target (string) – The core SWHID of the object whose metadata should be returned

Query Parameters:

  • authority (string) – A metadata authority identifier, formatted as <type> <IRI>. Required.

  • after (string) – ISO8601 representation of the minimum timestamp of metadata to fetch. Defaults to allowing all metadata.

  • limit (int) – Maximum number of metadata objects to return.

Request Headers:

  • Accept – the requested response content type, either application/json (default) or application/yaml

Response Headers:
Response JSON Array of Objects:

  • target (string) – SWHID of the object described by this metadata (absent when target is not a core SWHID (ie. it does not have type cnt/dir/rev/rel/snp)

  • discovery_date (string) – ISO8601/RFC3339 timestamp of the moment this metadata was collected.

  • authority (object) – authority this metadata is coming from

  • fetcher (object) – tool used to fetch the metadata

  • format (string) – short identifier of the format of the metadata

  • metadata_url (string) – link to download the metadata “blob” itself

  • origin (string) – URL of the origin in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

  • visit (int) – identifier of the visit in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

  • snapshot (string) – SWHID of the snapshot in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

  • release (string) – SWHID of the release in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

  • revision (string) – SWHID of the revision in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

  • path (string) – SWHID of the path in which context’s is valid if any, relative to a release or revision as anchor

  • directory (string) – SWHID of the directory in which context’s the metadata is valid, if any

swh.web.api.views.metadata.api_raw_extrinsic_metadata_swhid_authorities(request: Request, target: str)[source]#
GET /api/1/raw-extrinsic-metadata/swhid/(target)/authorities/#

Returns a list of metadata authorities that provided metadata on the given target. They can then be used to get the raw extrinsic metadata collected on that object from each of the authorities.

This endpoint should only be used directly to retrieve metadata from core SWHIDs (with type cnt, dir, rev, rel, and snp). For “extended” SWHIDs such as origins, GET /api/1/raw-extrinsic-metadata/origin/(origin_url)/authorities/ should be used instead of building this URL directly.

Parameters:

  • target (string) – The core SWHID of the object whose metadata-providing authorities should be returned

Request Headers:

  • Accept – the requested response content type, either application/json (default) or application/yaml

Response Headers:
Response JSON Array of Objects:

  • type (string) – Type of authority (deposit_client, forge, registry)

  • url (string) – Unique IRI identifying the authority

  • metadata_list_url (object) – URL to get the list of metadata objects on the given object from this authority

Status Codes:

Example:

swh.web.api.views.metadata.api_raw_extrinsic_metadata_origin_authorities(request: Request, origin_url: str)[source]#
GET /api/1/raw-extrinsic-metadata/origin/(origin_url)/authorities/#

Similar to GET /api/1/raw-extrinsic-metadata/swhid/(target)/authorities/ but to get metadata on origins instead of objects

Parameters:

  • origin_url (string) – The URL of the origin whose metadata-providing authorities should be returned

Request Headers:

  • Accept – the requested response content type, either application/json (default) or application/yaml

Response Headers:
Response JSON Array of Objects:

  • type (string) – Type of authority (deposit_client, forge, registry)

  • url (string) – Unique IRI identifying the authority

  • metadata_list_url (object) – URL to get the list of metadata objects on the given object from this authority
