API Format and Endpoints
Posting updates/validation and acquiring information about them in the Data Batch Updater API is accomplished by making calls to the API endpoints.
The HTTP URL that corresponds to the Data Batch Updater API endpoint is specified as follows:
[-X POST] -H "Authorization: bearer $token" [-F Parameterization...] https://immport-upload.niaid.nih.gov:9443/data/batch/updater...
The components of the endpoint may require a POST endpoint [-X POST],
-F parameterization [-F Parameterization..], or a completion of the endpoint
.... All this information is presented in the table below. The authorization
token -H "Authorization: bearer $token" is described Section Sample Request
with Authentication below. Each POST endpoint is parameterized using -F
parameterization, while non-POST endpoints have an inline parameter except for
the workspaces endpoint.
Each Data Batch Updater API endpoint represents a specific batch updater action, for example, data batch update, data batch update validation, documentation generation, etc.
In the Examples below, the value REPLACE_WITH_USERNAME will be testuser. Also, the -F parameter uploadPurpose where it appears below MUST BE as provided and should NOT be modified.
