Daniel: You can create a history item through API by importing dataset from library (that would be this method: https://galaxy-central.readthedocs.org/en/latest/lib/galaxy.webapps.galaxy.api.html#galaxy.webapps.galaxy.api.history_contents.HistoryContentsController.create).

For uploading bigger files I would recommend using the FTP (https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/FTPUpload)

Thanks Martin,

I saw that you can upload a file directly to a history using the API through the upload tool, but then it has limitations in terms of file size, no?
Would it be useable with large files?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I am sorry but Galaxy API doesn't support sharing of histories yet.

For further notice these two parts of the API documentation are the most relevant for the histories API:

Hello,

Is it possible to share a history with a user (by user name) or change
ownership through the Galaxy API?
I didn't see any example doing this.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Daniel
