[Archivesspace_Users_Group] partially update a record through API

[Noah Huffman]

Hi Chris,

If you write this script, could you share with the list?  I'd be interested as well.

I expect that these sorts of batch editing tasks will be fairly common.

Thanks,
-Noah

Hi Mang Sun,


If you're doing it this way, you'll need to get the JSON first and add the publish: false value, then POST that back. 

I can write a small script for you that does this, if you're interested...

I am trying to partially update accession records by setting PUBLISH to false using REST API, but I can't get it done successfully.
For example, run the following command to update one accession record, curl_as username password -d "@accession.json" -v "the AS API url/repositaries/2/accession/1"

accession.json contains
{
"publish" : false
}

but I get the following complaints

{"error":{"id_0":["Property is required but was missing"],"accession_date":["Property is required but was
missing"]},"warning":null,"invalid_object":"#<JSONModel(:accession)
{\"publish\"=>true, \"jsonmodel_type\"=>\"accession\",
\"external_ids\"=>[], \"related_accessions\"=>[], \"subjects\"=>[], \"linked_events\"=>[], \"extents\"=>[], \"dates\"=>[], \"external_documents\"=>[], \"rights_statements\"=>[], \"deaccessions\"=>[], \"related_resources\"=>[], \"restrictions_apply\"=>false, \"access_restrictions\"=>false, \"use_restrictions\"=>false, \"linked_agents\"=>[], \"instances\"=>[]}>"}


Any idea?
