abcupload 1.0.1

ABCOMICS Genomic Data Upload Tool — upload sequencing files to ABCOMICS

abcupload

ABCOMICS Genomic Data Upload Tool

A command-line tool to upload sequencing and genomic data files to the ABCOMICS platform. It handles the full two-step upload process automatically: requesting a signed URL from the API, then streaming the file directly to secure cloud storage with a live progress bar.

---

Installation

pip install abcupload

Requires Python 3.8 or later. Dependencies (requests, rich) are installed automatically.

Quick start

# Set your API key once (contact [e-mail] to receive it)
export ABCOMICS_API_KEY=your_key_here

# Upload a single file
abcupload -u abc-000001 -p PRJAB00001 -d sample_R1.fastq.gz

# Upload all FASTQ files in the current directory
abcupload -u abc-000001 -p PRJAB00001 -d '*.fastq.gz'

# Upload an entire directory (scans for all accepted formats)
abcupload -u abc-000001 -p PRJAB00001 -d /data/project/

# Upload multiple specific files
abcupload -u abc-000001 -p PRJAB00001 -d file1.bam,file2.bam

# Test mode — files are deleted after 24 hours
abcupload -u abc-000001 -p PRJAB00001 -d '*.fastq.gz' -t

Usage

abcupload -u USERNAME -p PROJECT_ID -d DATA [OPTIONS]

required:
  -u USERNAME     ABCOMICS username          (e.g. abc-000001)
  -p PROJECT_ID   Project ID                 (e.g. PRJAB00001)
  -d DATA         What to upload:
                    single file  :  -d sample.fastq.gz
                    comma list   :  -d file1.fastq.gz,file2.bam
                    glob pattern :  -d '*.fastq.gz'
                    directory    :  -d /path/to/data/

options:
  -k API_KEY      API key  (alternative to ABCOMICS_API_KEY env var)
  -t              Test mode — files deleted after 24 h
  -o              Overwrite existing files without asking
  -h, --help      Show this help and exit
  -V, --version   Show version and exit

---

Environment variable

Set your API key as an environment variable so you do not have to pass -k on every command:

# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for persistence
export ABCOMICS_API_KEY=your_key_here

What happens under the hood

1. For each file, abcupload sends a POST request to the ABCOMICS API with your username, project ID, and filename.
2. The API validates the request and returns a time-limited signed URL pointing directly to the ABCOMICS cloud storage bucket.
3. abcupload streams the file to that URL with a live progress bar showing speed, percentage, and estimated time remaining.
4. If a file with the same name already exists, you are asked whether to overwrite it or skip it (or use -o to always overwrite).
