Texas State Library and Archives Commission - Preservica APIs in practice
Brian Thomas, Electronic Records Specialist at Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), considers why they started using Preservica APIs, the most common ways these are used and the steps they use to work out new processes.
Using Python with the Preservica Entity APIs (Part 3)
In this article we will be looking at API calls which create and update entities within the repository, some calls to add and update descriptive metadata and we will also look at the use of external identifiers which are useful if you want to synchronise external metadata sources to Preservica.
Using Python with the Preservica Entity APIs (Part 2)
In my previous article on using the Preservica Entity API with Python we looked at creating the authentication token used by all the web service calls and then showed how we could use the token to request basic information about the intellectual assets held in the Preservica repository.
Using Python with the Preservica Entity APIs (Part 1)
The Preservica Entity API provides a set of Restful web services to allow users to interact with the Preservica repository. The services allow both the reading and writing of metadata attached to both digital assets and their parent aggregations or collections. The API also allows read access to the digital content within the assets.
