fdpAPIconnector 0.0.2

Python package to connect to a FDP API

fdpAPIconnector.py

Python package for communictaion with a FairDataPoint (FDP) API. This is based on the fairdatapoint-client api client but adapted for FAIRDataTeam/FAIRDataPoint.

Usage

Import the FDPClient within your Python or Jupyter script.

from fdpAPIconnector.fdpclient import FDPClient

Create an instance of the client and login

fdp_baseurl = "http://localhost:8088"
email = "[e-mail]"
password = "SuperSecretePassword"

fdpclient=FDPClient(fdp_baseurl,email,password)

You can also use an api_token

fdpclient=FDPClient(fdp_baseurl,api_token = 'APITOKEN123456789')

You may change the templates used for catalogs, datasets and distributions

fdpclient=FDPClient(fdp_baseurl,email,password,
                    catalog_template='./<pathToTemplates>/catalog_template.ttl',
                    dataset_template='./<pathToTemplates>/dataset_template.ttl,
                    distribution_template='./<pathToTemplates>/distribution_template.ttl
                    )

Create a new Catalog

newcat=fdpclient.createCatalogRDF(DESCRIPTION='My First Catalog',
                               title='My First Catalog',
                               version="1.0.0",
                               ispartof=fdpclient.publicurl,
                               publisher='Projektmanagementteam',
                               LANGUAGE='http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-1/en',
                               HOMEPAGE=fdpclient.baseurl)

pprint(newcat)
id=fdpclient.create(type='catalog',data=newcat)
print(id)

TODOs

• allow "login" via api-token instead of email and password
• auto check for strings and urls(or iri) for RDF turtle creation
• Create a nice documentation
