amclient

AMClient is an Archivematica API client library and Python package for making it easier to talk to Archivematica from your Python scripts. AMClient also acts as a command line application which can easily be combined with shell-scripts to perform the same functions as a Python script might.

AMClient brings together the majority of the functionality of the two primary Archivematica components:

Basic usage: amclient.py <subcommand> [optional arguments] <positional argument(s)>

E.g.:

  amclient.py close-completed-transfers \
      --am-user-name test 234deffdf89d887a7023546e6bc0031167cedf6

To see a list of all commands and how they are used, then run amclient.py without any arguments.

To understand how to use an individual subcommand, simply run: amclient.py <subcommand>, the output will describe the input parameters for that command:

E.g.:

  usage: amclient extract-file [-h] [--ss-user-name USERNAME] [--ss-url URL]
                               [--directory DIR]
                               [--saveas-filename SAVEASFILENAME]
                               ss_api_key package_uuid relative_path

Calling the module from Python:

E.g.:

    Python 3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17)
    [GCC 8.2.0] on linux
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> from amclient import AMClient
    >>> am = AMClient()
    >>> am.ss_url = "http://127.0.0.1:62081"
    >>> am.ss_user_name = "test"
    >>> am.ss_api_key = "test"
    >>> am.list_storage_locations()
    ...json is output here...
