swh.web.save_code_now.api_views.api_save_origin(request: Request, visit_type: str | None = None, origin_url: str | None = None, request_id: int = 0)[source]#
GET /api/1/origin/save/(visit_type)/url/(origin_url)/#
POST /api/1/origin/save/(visit_type)/url/(origin_url)/#
GET /api/1/origin/save/(request_id)/#

Request the saving of a software origin into the archive or check the status of previously created save requests.

That endpoint enables to create a saving task for a software origin through a POST request.

Depending of the provided origin url, the save request can either be:

  • immediately accepted, for well known code hosting providers like for instance GitHub or GitLab

  • rejected, in case the url is blacklisted by Software Heritage

  • put in pending state until a manual check is done in order to determine if it can be loaded or not

Once a saving request has been accepted, its associated saving task status can then be checked through a GET request on the same url. Returned status can either be:

  • not created: no saving task has been created

  • pending: saving task has been created and will be scheduled for execution

  • scheduled: the task execution has been scheduled

  • running: the task is currently executed

  • succeeded: the saving task has been successfully executed

  • failed: the saving task has been executed but it failed

When issuing a POST request an object will be returned while a GET request will return an array of objects (as multiple save requests might have been submitted for the same origin).

It is also possible to get info about a specific save request by sending a GET request to the /api/1/origin/save/(request_id)/ endpoint.
