[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Search Across Repositories and Get EAD XML - ArchivesSpace API

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

I would also add that if you want the EAD, it may be simpler to access it from the OAI endpoint, but only if OAI is configured properly. Try downloading a resource using oai_ead metadata from the oai/sample page, to see if it’s configured properly and what the resource URLs will look like.

First, I want to use the Search across repositories <https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#search-across-repositories> API endpoint searching with the resource identifier and take the results to get the URI for that resource. How do I structure my call to the API using the ASnake client (in python)? I have tried the following code with response 400 returned:

How do I specify where the EAD xml file saves to? I’m not even sure if it is saving anywhere on my computer. However, my requests are successful, generating a 200 response. I tried turning the response into json (using ASnake’s .json()) and writing it, but I keep getting a JSONDecodeError. This is my request:
