Hi Mona,<div><br></div><div>If you append /api to your Midas URL you can see a listing of API methods, along with parameters and some documentation.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The basic structures in Midas are communities, folders, items and bitstreams.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can create a community or folder with these calls:</div><div><br></div><div><b>midas.community.create</b></div><div><b>midas.folder.create</b></div><div><br></div><div>To upload files, either create an item or upload to an existing item.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Create an item with</div><div><br></div><div><b>midas.item.create</b></div><div><br></div><div>To upload to an existing item, first get an upload token with</div><div><br></div><div><b>midas.upload.generatetoken</b></div>
<div><br></div><div>then using the upload token you can upload a single bitstream to the item with</div><div><br></div><div><b>midas.upload.perform</b></div><div><br><br>You can upload more bitstreams to the same item (or to a different item) by further calls to <b>midas.upload.generatetoken</b> and <b>midas.upload.perform </b>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Good Luck,</div><div>Mike</div><div><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 6:14 PM, Mona Wong <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mona@sdsc.edu" target="_blank">mona@sdsc.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
