[galaxy-dev] Galaxy API to upload files to data library

25 Jun 2015

      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'????
