Basic library for interacting with the REST interface of XNAT.
Project description
The Boring XNAT Library (BXL)
BXL is a library for interacting with the REST interface of XNAT (Extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit), an open-source imaging informatics software platform.
Usage
Installation
BXL is available at PyPI, the Python Package Index.
With pip package management system:
pip install bxl
Without pip:
git clone https://gitlab.com/bbrc/xnat/bxl.git .
cd ./bxl
python setup.py install
Credentials handling
The xnat.Connection()
class constructor expects a credentials
argument to be passed when instantiated,
- If is a
tuple
, it will proceed to a basic authentication procedure against thehost
XNAT instance. - If is a
basestring
, it will reuse it as a cookie for authentication against thehost
XNAT instance. - Otherwise (or if authentication procedure failed in the aforementioned cases), it will remain offline.
Examples
Connect to XNAT instance using an existing JSESSIONID token and get a list of user-visible XNAT projects
import bxl.xnat as xlib
c = xlib.Connection(hostname='http://myxnat.org',credentials='1A12346385E876546C99B4179E20986A')
data = c.get_projects()
projects = { item['ID'] : item['URI'] for item in data.values() }
print(projects)
c.close_jsession()
Connect via 'with' statement to create a new Female subject 'dummy' in the 'test' project
from bxl import xnat
with xnat.Connection(hostname='http://myxnat.org',credentials=(usr,pwd)) as c :
response = c._put_resource(URI = c.host + '/data/projects/test/subjects/dummy',
options = {'gender' : 'female'} )
subject_uid = response.content
print 'New subject %s created!' %subject_uid
