[Archivesspace_Users_Group] partially update a record through API

[Kevin Clair]

Hello,

I'd be interested as well. I've written one already, which I can share if there's interest, but it's written for very specific migration tasks that we have here at DU so it might not be the most efficient way of going about this.  -k

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?
