Set up API access credentials and regional endpoints for LabArchives API integration.

Prerequisites:

• Enterprise LabArchives license with API access enabled
• API access key ID and password from LabArchives administrator
• User authentication credentials (email and external applications password)

Configuration setup:

Use the scripts/setup_config.py script to create a configuration file:

python3 scripts/setup_config.py

This creates a config.yaml file with the following structure:

api_url: https://api.labarchives.com/api  # or regional endpoint
access_key_id: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
access_password: YOUR_ACCESS_PASSWORD

Regional API endpoints:

• US/International: https://api.labarchives.com/api
• Australia: https://auapi.labarchives.com/api
• UK: https://ukapi.labarchives.com/api

For detailed authentication instructions and troubleshooting, refer to references/authentication_guide.md.

2. User Information Retrieval

Obtain user ID (UID) and access information required for subsequent API operations.

Workflow:

1. Call the users/user_access_info API method with login credentials
2. Parse the XML/JSON response to extract the user ID (UID)
3. Use the UID to retrieve detailed user information via users/user_info_via_id

Example using Python wrapper:

from labarchivespy.client import Client

# Initialize client
client = Client(api_url, access_key_id, access_password)

# Get user access info
login_params = {'login_or_email': user_email, 'password': auth_token}
response = client.make_call('users', 'user_access_info', params=login_params)

# Extract UID from response
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
uid = ET.fromstring(response.content)[0].text

# Get detailed user info
params = {'uid': uid}
user_info = client.make_call('users', 'user_info_via_id', params=params)

3. Notebook Operations

Manage notebook access, backup, and metadata retrieval.

Key operations:

• List notebooks: Retrieve all notebooks accessible to a user
• Backup notebooks: Download complete notebook data with optional attachment inclusion
• Get notebook IDs: Retrieve institution-defined notebook identifiers for integration with grants/project management systems
• Get notebook members: List all users with access to a specific notebook
• Get notebook settings: Retrieve configuration and permissions for notebooks

Notebook backup example:

Use the scripts/notebook_operations.py script:

# Backup with attachments (default, creates 7z archive)
python3 scripts/notebook_operations.py backup --uid USER_ID --nbid NOTEBOOK_ID

# Backup without attachments, JSON format
python3 scripts/notebook_operations.py backup --uid USER_ID --nbid NOTEBOOK_ID --json --no-attachments
