Registry API

PyPreservica provides a python interface for using the Preservation Action Registry API

https://demo.preservica.com/Registry/par/documentation.html

For more information on PAR see: https://parcore.org/

This pyPreservica PAR client will work with any PAR implementation which uses HTTP Basic Auth.

Non-Authenticated Read Access

The interfaces for reading information from the PAR are non-authenticated calls. Only a server address is required. All the interfaces for reading information return JSON documents.

The JSON documents can be converted into Python Dictionaries using the standard json library.

  • Format Families

import json

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.format_families()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

json_document = par.format_family('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Preservation Action Types

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.preservation_action_types()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.preservation_action_type('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Properties

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.properties()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

json_document = par.property('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Representation Formats

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.representation_format()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.representation_formats('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • File Formats

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.file_formats()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.file_format('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Tools

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.tools()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.tool('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Preservation Action

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.preservation_actions()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.preservation_action('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Business Rules

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.business_rules()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.business_rule('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)

  • Rule Sets

par = PreservationActionRegistry(server="par-server.com")
json_document = par.rule_sets()
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)


json_document = par.rule_set('ae87efa4-cd5a-5d07-b1b7-251a4fe871c8')
dict_obj = json.loads(json_document)
