IIIFingest 1.0.1

A wrapper library for interacting with the MPS ingest system for IIIF resources

IIIF LTS Library

This is a Python library which facilitates interacting with the Harvard LTS (Library Technology Services) media ingest solution, which takes images and metadata and serves them via IIIF at scale. IIIFingest helps other applications manage ingest credentials, upload images to S3 for ingest, create IIIF manifests, create asset ingest requests, generate JWT tokens for signing ingest requests, and track the status of ingest jobs.

Getting Started

Installation

To install via pypi.org:

pip install IIIFingest

Or from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/Harvard-ATG/lts-iiif-ingest-service.git

Requirements

• Python 3.7+

Using the library

import boto3
import logging
from IIIFingest.auth import Credentials
from IIIFingest.client import Client

# Enable debug logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger('IIIFingest').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Configure ingest API auth credentials
jwt_creds = Credentials(
    issuer="atissuer",
    kid="atissuerdefault",
    private_key_path="path/to/private.key"
)

# Configure ingest API client
client = Client(
    account="ataccount",
    space="atspace",
    namespace="at",
    environment="qa",
    asset_prefix="myapp",
    jwt_creds=jwt_creds,
    boto_session=boto3.Session(),
)

# Define images to ingest
images = [{
    "label": "Test Image", 
    "filepath": "tests/images/mcihtest1.tif"
}]

# Define manifest-level metadata
manifest_level_metadata = {
    "labels": ["Test Manifest"],
    "summary": "A test manifest for ingest",
    "rights": "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/",
}

# Call client methods as needed
assets = client.upload(images)
manifest = client.create_manifest(manifest_level_metadata=manifest_level_metadata, assets=assets)
result = client.ingest(manifest=manifest, assets=assets)
status = client.jobstatus(result["job_id"])

Authentication

The ingest API requires JWT tokens for authentication and authorization. The credentials needed to generate tokens are provided by LTS at registration time and can then be used with this library.

The Credentials constructor can be configured as follows:

• issuer: Identifies the app or service issuing tokens.
• kid: Identifies the key used for signing tokens. Ingest permissions are associated with the key.
• private_key_path: Path to the private key provided by LTS for the given issuer.
• private_key_string: The private key value as a string.
• expiration: The length of time in seconds for which the token should be valid (default: 3600).

Note that the private_key_path and private_key_string options are mutually exclusive.

Client Configuration

The Client constructor may be configured with the following options:

• account: The account identifier.
• space: The space within the account.
• namespace: The NRS namespace for manifest and asset URLs.
• agent: Name of the agent that created the assets.
• environment: Ingest API environment: dev, qa, or prod.
• asset_prefix: Optional prefix to use for image asset IDs (e.g. the application name).
• jwt_creds: A Credentials instance for generating JWT tokens.
• boto_session: A boto3.session.Session instance with permission to upload images to the S3 ingest bucket.

Notes:

• LTS will provide the account, space, namespace, and agent values.
• LTS will provide the AWS credentials needed to upload images to S3. It's up to you how S3 credentials are managed, the only requirement is that a boto session is provided to the library.
• To make requests to non-prod environments (dev or `qa), the client must be on VPN or the IP must be whitelisted. If the requests are coming from a cloud account, make sure to whitelist the IP range.

Development

Getting setup

Clone repo:

$ git clone [e-mail]:Harvard-ATG/lts-iiif-ingest-service.git
$ cd lts-iiif-ingest-service

Setup python environment:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Note that this will install all packages needed for the library as well as linting and pre-commit hooks.

Install pre-commit hooks:

This installs pre-commit git hooks to automatically lint and format code before committing. See the .pre-commit-config.yaml for specifics.

$ pre-commit install

Testing

To run an end-to-end test:

$ python3 tests/test_client.py -i atmediamanager -s atmediamanager -e qa --asset-prefix mcih

To run unit tests:

$ python3 -m unittest discover -s ./tests

PyPi release

$ pip install twine
$ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
$ tar tzf dist IIIFingest-VERSION-.tar.gz
$ twine check dist/*
$ twine upload dist/IIIFingest-VERSION*

Managing auth credentials

There are two types of auth credentials that need to be managed:

1. Ingest API credentials.
2. AWS S3 credentials.

Note that the suggestions here pertain to local development only. For production environments, it's recommended to use environment variables injected via SSM or other secret management techniques.

Ingest API credentials:

For local development, you may find it convenient to store credentials and configuration in a folder named auth either in this repository or separately (auth is git ignored by default). The directory structure should look something like this:

auth
├── dev
│   ├── issuers
│   │   ├── atapp1.json
│   │   ├── atapp2.json
│   │   └── atapp3.json
│   └── keys
│       ├── atapp1
│       │   └── atapp1default
│       │       ├── private.key
│       │       └── public.key
│       ├── atapp2
│       │   └── atapp2default
│       │       ├── private.key
│       │       └── public.key
│       └── atapp3
│           └── atapp3efault
│               ├── private.key
│               └── public.key
├── qa
└── prod

With this approach, you can set the path in the Credentials constructor:

private_key_path = "auth/{env}/keys/{issuer}/{issuer}default/private.key"

AWS S3 credentials:

For local development, you may choose to create a profile in ~/.aws/credentials and reference that profile when creating the boto3.Session or set environment variables that boto3 can automatically load.
