Origin#

This describes the URI scheme when one wants to browse the Software Heritage archive in the context of an origin (for instance, a repository crawled from GitHub or a Debian source package). All the views pointed by that scheme offer quick links to browse objects as found during the associated crawls performed by Software Heritage:

  • the root directory of the origin

  • the list of branches of the origin

  • the list of releases of the origin

Origin visits#

GET /browse/origin/visits/#

HTML view that displays visits reporting for a software origin identified by its type and url.

Query Parameters:

  • origin_url (string) – mandatory parameter providing the url of the origin (e.g. (user)/(repo))

Status Codes:

Origin directory#

GET /browse/origin/directory/#

HTML view for browsing the content of a directory reachable from the root directory (including itself) associated to the latest full visit of a software origin.

The content of the directory is first sorted in lexicographical order and the sub-directories are displayed before the regular files.

The view enables to navigate from the requested directory to directories reachable from it in a recursive way but also up to the origin root directory. A breadcrumb located in the top part of the view allows to keep track of the paths navigated so far.

The view also enables to easily switch between the origin branches and releases through a dropdown menu.

The origin branch (default to HEAD) from which to retrieve the directory content can also be specified by using the branch query parameter.

Query Parameters:

  • origin_url (string) – mandatory parameter providing the url of the origin (e.g. (user)/(repo))

  • path (string) – optional parameter used to specify the path of a directory reachable from the origin root one

  • branch (string) – specify the origin branch name from which to retrieve the root directory

  • release (string) – specify the origin release name from which to retrieve the root directory

  • revision (string) – specify the origin revision, identified by the hexadecimal representation of its sha1_git value, from which to retrieve the root directory

  • timestamp (string) – an ISO 8601 datetime string to parse in order to find the closest visit.

  • visit_id (int) – specify a visit id to retrieve the directory from instead of using the latest full visit by default

Status Codes:

  • 200 OK – no error

  • 400 Bad Request – no origin url has been provided as parameter

  • 404 Not Found – requested origin cannot be found in the archive or the provided path does not exist from the origin root directory
