<p>If you want to load EAD via the backend API you can use the <i>jobs_with_files</i>
endpoint. You send that both JSON (to specify what job to run and
give it the necessary parameters) and the EAD for the job to
process. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here is an example a cURL command to start a job to import an EAD
file in the current local directory called <b>myeadfile.xml</b>
to an ArchivesSpace system running on a machine called <b>myhost</b>:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: <b>MYTOKEN</b>" -F
"job={\"jsonmodel_type\": \"job\", \"status\": \"queued\",
\"job_type\": \"import_job\", \"job\": {\"jsonmodel_type\":
\"import_job\", \"filenames\": [\"<b>myeadfile.xml</b>\"],
\"import_type\": \"ead_xml\"}}" -F "files[]=@<b>myeadfile.xml</b>"
http://<b>myhost</b>:<b>8089</b>/repositories/<b>2</b>/jobs_with_files<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>That assumes the backend is set up to listen (and isn't blocked
by a firewall between you and it) on post 8089. And that you want
any records created to belong to repository number 2. Change those
as appropriate.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><b>MYTOKEN</b> is a session token which you can get from the
response to this:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>read -p "Username: " USER; read -s -p "Password: " PASS; curl
-Fpassword=$PASS http://<b>myhost</b>:<b>8089</b>/users/$USER/login</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You could probably specify multiple EAD files, but it is safer to
always do one file per import job. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The HTTP response is only the status of the job, usually
"Created". It doesn't tell you whether the import succeeds, nor
the ID(s) of any records created. I've only ever used this to
populate testing systems, when a few failures didn't matter. The
jobs and their logs can be viewed in the staff interface.<br>

I am terribly sorry, I have now found that the payload is a JSON
serialization of an array of resource objects: <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/spec/controller_batch_import_spec.rb#L41" style="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/blob/master/backend/spec/controller_batch_import_spec.rb#L41</a><br>
<br>
Would one then model the payload as one of these arrays of JSON
objects, each with a URI internal to the EAD file?</div>

Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I have recently been reviewing the documentation for the REST
API, and was looking to explore the possible usage of <a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#import-a-batch-of-records" id="LPlnk777205" style="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#import-a-batch-of-records</a><br>
<br>
Please forgive for my ignorance, but does the body of the POST
request contain a payload of EAD XML? Would this be a string
of concatenated EAD documents?<br>
<br>
Additionally, my understanding is that the response from this
request contains an identifier for the created object. As the
job for importing the records would be asynchronous, should
one poll for the status of this new object by repeatedly
transmitting a GET request against <a href="https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#find-resources-by-their-identifiers" id="LPNoLP534764" style="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/#find-resources-by-their-identifiers</a> until
it has been fully imported?<br>
<br>
Thank you for your patience and assistance.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,</div>
