Overview

The StorageHub APIs components provide a simple access to StorageHub service.

It is conceived to support both Java and REST-based calls.

Dependencies

Maven coordinates

<dependency>
<groupId>org.gcube.common</groupId>
<artifactId>storagehub-client-library</artifactId>
<version>[1.0.0,2.0.0)</version>
</dependency>

Key features

Users must use the personal token to access the REST interface. They can access just their own files and the folders shared with them.

StorageHub REST interface supports the following operations:

  • Retrieve WS: to retrieve the user Workspace;
  • Folder Listing: to list the content of a folder;
  • Retrieve VRE Folder: to retrieve the VREFolder related to the token;
  • Find: to find a file or a folder by name or pattern;
  • Delete: to remove a file or a folder (including subfolders);
  • Download: to download a file or a folder in ZIP format;
  • Get Public Link: to get a public link of a file;
  • Create Folder: to create a folder in the given parent folder;
  • Unzip: to upload a zip file in a specific folder;
  • Upload file: to upload a file in a folder.
  • Versions: to get a specific version of a file;

API

The base-url of this service on D4Science production is the following: 

https://api.d4science.org/workspace

Retrieve Workspace

Returns the Item representing the workspace of the user retrieved by the token used for the call.

 FolderContainer rootContainer = shc.getWSRoot()

responses

200 The workspace root item (in json format) is returned.

500 The error is specified in the body of the response message

DataMiner and SAI Interactions

Algorithms created in SAI and executed by DataMiner can interact with StorageHub through the StorageHub REST APIs. Here are some examples:

Furthermore, everything can be facilitated by using the specific input parameters as shown in the SAI wiki section Workspace Interaction by Item Id.

R Client

An R client implementing the above function is available here
