[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Mass export of EAD

[Kevin Clair]

I have a Perl script I run from command line that runs every batch export I want or need at this point: https://github.com/duspeccoll/as_utils/blob/master/reports.pl

It grabs the JSON list of all the IDs for a given model, and then either dumps everything into a single JSON object or exports to some other format. The EAD export is lines 206-224. This is *extremely* customized for our environment, and I’ve made no effort yet to modify it for general use, but it’s an idea of how one could go about doing this.  -k

There is ead_export.sh in the scripts directory.
It only exports published collections, but that can be changed in the code if needed.
That script runs locally on the AS server and it writes into the archivesspace/data/
directory, so you need write access.

resource ids will not necessarily be sequential after deletions and transfers, but you
can get a JSON list of all of the ids from /repositories/$REPO_ID/resources?all_ids=true
and then loop over those ids.

Phil,
As far as I'm aware, there's no bulk EAD export functionality in ASpace.  However, since ASpace's resource identifiers are sequential integers, you can loop over each resource id in a repository and make an API call for its EAD record:
for x in {first..last}; do curl -H '[session token]' "https://[address]/repositories/[id]/resource_descriptions/${x}.xml<https://[address]/repositories/%5bid%5d/resource_descriptions/$%7bx%7d.xml>" > aspace_${x}.xml; done
A loop like that should generate EAD records for each resource in your repository.

Greetings all,

             Is there an API or mass export feature for exporting all EAD records from a repository, etc.? I am only seeing a collection level export feature.

Thanks,

Phil
