<div dir="auto">One thing is that you probably want to do "${IDENTIFIER}" to avoid escaping issues. But the big thing is that requests actually does some negotiation around "array params" that you have to manually handle in shell - so instead of passing in
identifier as one array of json arrays, you'd actually want to pass each identifier directly as one array.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Basically, you would pass each serialized (and URL encoded) json array of components to a separate "identifier[]=" param and repeat as necessary. </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hey Dave,<br>
<br>
That’s alright, I spoke with Tommy Keswick at Caltech and we got something working, but it’s a cumbersome workaround using urllib.parse.quote and lots of extra lines of code.<br>
<br>
That explains a lot why this was so frustrating! I’ve tried your examples and they work perfectly, thank you so so much!<br>
<br>
I wonder if I couldn’t pick your brain for helping me write the SHELL examples for this? So far, I’ve got something like so:<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console"">$ export IDENTIFIER=['["test","1234","abcd","5678"]']</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console"">$ curl -H -g "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" "http://our_aspace_api_url/repositories/2/find_by_id/resources?identifier[]=$IDENTIFIER"</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
The above gets a response from ASpace, but doesn’t return any results like in the python example.
<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console""> % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console""> Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Console"">100 17 100 17 0 0 482 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 500{"resources":[]}</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
Can you spot anything wrong with how I’m making the call? I changed the fourth ID from !@#$ to 5678 since it was difficult for SHELL to accept those characters<br>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi Corey! </p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Sorry for taking so long to get back to you!</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The reason you’ve had no success is that, frankly, this aspect of the app’s functionality is bad? Bad, it is poorly implemented in a way that makes it basically impossible to suss out without reading the code.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">What this function actually expects is: an array of strings with serialized JSON, each of which contains a JSON array of a four part id, null trailing components of which can be omitted.</p>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Here’s a working example for two records from Harvard:<br>
<br>
x.client.get('repositories/3/find_by_id/resources', params={'identifier[]': ['["ecb00051",null,null,null]', '["bf-test"]']}).json()<br>
<br>
This returns:<br>
<br>
{'resources': [{'ref': '/repositories/3/resources/7303'},</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> {'ref': '/repositories/3/resources/9611'}]}<br>
<br>
So, a working version of your query would be:<br>
<br>
find_res_id = client.get(‘repositories/2/find_by_id/resources’, params={‘identifier’: [‘[“test”, “1234”, “abcd”, “!@#$”]’]})<br>
<br>
Or less hatefully? Maybe?<br>
<br>
import json<br>
find_res_id = client.get(‘repositories/2/find_by_id/resources’, params={‘identifier’: [json.dumps([‘test’, ‘1234’, ‘abcd’, ‘!@#$’])]})</p>

Hello, this is Corey Schmidt from the University of Georgia. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the slow warmup to Spring.<br>
