Quick Start
Fetch an asset and browse its parent folder:
from pyPreservica import *
client = EntityAPI()
# Fetch an asset by its UUID
asset = client.asset("dc949259-2c1d-4658-8eee-c17b27a8823d")
print(asset.title) # LC-USZ62-20901
print(asset.security_tag) # open
# List all children of a folder
folder = client.folder(asset.parent)
for child in client.children(folder.reference):
print(child.title, child.entity_type)
Upload a file as a new asset into an existing folder:
from pyPreservica import *
upload = UploadAPI()
folder_ref = "ae108c8f-b058-4228-b099-6049175d2f0c"
package = simple_asset_package(preservation_file="picture.tiff", parent_folder=folder_ref)
upload.upload_zip_package(package)
Search the repository:
from pyPreservica import *
content = ContentAPI()
for hit in content.simple_search_list("London"):
print(hit)
Credentials can also be passed as constructor arguments or stored in a credentials.properties file.
See the full documentation for all authentication options.
