This validator supports the same validations that are available on the IIIF website at http://iiif.io/api/image/validator/.
The following should install scripts, library, and the necessary dependencies:
pip install iiif-validator
Installation from source code <https://github.com/IIIF/image-validator> can de done with:
python setup.py install
which should install scripts, library, and the necessary dependencies. Note that setup.py includes directives to pin certain libraries to particular versions for compatibility.
The python-magic module requires libmagic which, on a mac, one can install with:
brew install libmagic
Then for an image served at http://localhost:8000/prefix/image_id
the validator can be run with:
iiif-validate.py -s localhost:8000 -p prefix -i image_id --version=2.0 -v
or similar to validate server with the test image. Use
iiif-validate -h for parameter details.
To install dependencies for this code the following lines must
be present in the install: section of .travis.yml:
install: - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev - pip install iiif_validator ...
and then a single validation can be added to the commands under
the script: section of .travis.yml. For example, to test a
server running with base URI http://localhost:8000/prefix with
image image_id1 at version 1.1, level 1, one might use:
script: ... - iiif-validate.py -s localhost:8000 -p prefix -i image_id1 --version=1.1 --level 1 --quiet
The iiif-validate.py script returns 0 exit code on success, non-zero
on failure, in order to work easily with Travis CI.
The primary installation of the validator server is on the IIIF website at http://iiif.io/api/image/validator/.
The validator server runs at http://localhost:8080/ by default, the URI path is the test name and then the query parameters give the details of the server and image to be tested. The URI pattern is:
http://localhost:8080/{test_name}?server={server}&prefix={prefix}&identifer={id}&version={api_version}
As an example, if the test server <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/iiif> is installed and run locally:
easy_install iiif iiif_testserver.py
which will set up a server at http://localhost:8000/ and write the log of accesses to STDOUT. The one can run validation tests against this with requests like http://localhost:8080/info_json?server=localhost:8000&prefix=/2.0_pil_none&identifier=67352ccc-d1b0-11e1-89ae-279075081939.png&version=2.0 which tests the info.json response and gives JSON output (pretty formatted here):
{
"test": "info_json",
"status": "success",
"tests": ["required-field: width", "required-field: height", "type-is-int: height", "type-is-int: width", "required-field: @id", "type-is-uri: @id", "@id is correct URI", "required-field: @context", "correct-context", "required-field: protocol", "correct-protocol", "required-field: profile", "is-list", "profile-compliance", "is-list", "is-object", "required-field: scaleFactors", "required-field: width", "type-is-int: width"],
"url": ["http://localhost:8000/2.0_pil_none/67352ccc-d1b0-11e1-89ae-279075081939.png/info.json"],
"label": "Check Image Information"
}
and http://localhost:8080/rot_mirror?server=localhost:8000&prefix=/2.0_pil_none&identifier=67352ccc-d1b0-11e1-89ae-279075081939.png&version=2.0 which tests mirroring and will give JSON output (again pretty formatted):
{
"test": "rot_mirror",
"status": "success",
"tests": ["9,0:True", "0,9:True"],
"url": ["http://localhost:8000/2.0_pil_none/67352ccc-d1b0-11e1-89ae-279075081939.png/full/full/!0/default.jpg"],
"label": "Mirroring"
}

For ease of development and local testing, you can provision a virtual machine using Vagrant. To start Vagrant, ssh in, and run the validator on a site:
vagrant up vagrant ssh cd /vagrant ./iiif-validate.py -h ./iiif-validate.py --scheme=https -s iiif.lib.ncsu.edu -p iiif --level=2 -i 67352ccc-d1b0-11e1-89ae-279075081939
In addition, the Vagrant configuration runs the validator as a WSGI application using mod_wsgi and Apache httpd, accessible both from with the VM as well as the host machine at http://localhost:8080/.
