[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: Mass export of EAD

[Kevin Clair]

Hi Sue,

Ours is also a hosted ArchivesSpace instance (through the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries), and we're able to run our scripts locally even though the data is on their servers since everything is run through the API. The only thing you would need from them would be the URL to your ArchivesSpace backend.  -k

Hi Patrick,

Since I'm not a programmer, I actually have no idea how this works, but since none of our AS data lives locally, I don't think we can do it?  I'm not sure, would love to know if that's possible.

Thanks,
Sue

Hi Sue,
The script is written in Python, so you can run it from your local machine (you'd just have to change a couple variables to point it to your hosted instance). It's the same approach mentioned by a couple other people in this thread, just written in a different language.
It would be relatively easy to implement this as a plugin in the ArchivesSpace interface, but for us there's not really a compelling reason to, since we want mass exports to be triggered by machines based an automated schedule, rather than being done by humans.

Hi Patrick,

Is this something you have submitted to LYRASIS?  As an institution that uses the hosting service, we are somewhat limited in our customization of the software, and since this is a feature that I'm sure a lot of folks want, it would be great to have it included.

Just a thought.

Thanks,
Sue

Phil,

My colleague, Hillel Arnold, has written a script to export all published EAD. It's a little tailored to our installation, and has a bug or two, but with a little tweaking it could probably work for you.

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.
Regards,
--Alex

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
