By browsing the api code, I discovered library_contents.py that looks like it should be used. Why this and not folder_contents.py? There seems to be overlap of these two. I would expect to upload files to folders within libraries... On Thu, Jun 25, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Ryan G <ngsbioinformatics@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all - I'm trying to figure out how to script the ability to upload data (fastq) files to Galaxy via the API.
I can get the Library's root_folder_id, but am unsure of what the API call is to upload a file. I'm constructing this dictionary:
data = {} data['folder_id'] = galaxyFolderId data['create_type'] = 'file' data['file_type'] = 'fastq' data['upload_option'] = 'upload_paths' data['filesystem_paths'] = fileToUpload data['link_data_only'] = 'link_to_files'
I assume this is the correct format based on other code I've seen, but I'm not sure what the actual submit call should be. 'api/libraries/' or 'api/folders'????
