Uploading metadata with file using Web API
Dear All, I have a file path that I'd like to link into Galaxy using a RESTful WEB API call with some additional metadata key-value pairs. How can I do that? I know the /api/libraries/ call respects JSON keys like "folder_id", "file_type", etc. But can I pass to it additional keys and it will know to store them with the file entry? Thank you so much, Oren

Hi Oren, The API does not currently support setting any of the metadata, either on upload or afterward. Sorry for the inconvenience. Improvements would be welcome! --nate
Thank you so much, Oren
