Old Release

This documentation covers an old version of Fedora. Looking for another version? See all documentation.

 

Request URI: /path/to/some/resource

Methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, HEAD, OPTIONS, DELETE, MOVE, COPY

 

GET  Retrieve the content of the resource

Request Headers:

RANGE Byte range of content to retrieve, of the form: "Range: bytes=500-999"

ACCEPT   RDF sources support content negotiation with these formats: application/ld+json, application/n-triples, application/rdf+xml, application/x-turtle, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, text/html, text/n3, text/plain, text/rdf+n3, text/turtle

Note: JSON-LD profiles can be requested by using the following Accept headers:

Accept: application/ld+json; profile=\"http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#expanded\"" - default
Accept: application/ld+json; profile=\"http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#compacted\""
Accept: application/ld+json; profile=\"http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#flattened\"" 

LIMIT Number of child resources to list. If paired with Accept: (X)HTML, the default is 100. Otherwise, the default is -1 (all children are listed)

IF-NONE-MATCH IF-MODIFIED-SINCE

PREFER  return=minimal

return=representation
return=representation; include=" URIs "
return=representation; omit=" URIs "

where minimal indicates that only triples directly related to a resource should be returned, and representation indicates that links to other resources and their properties should also be included. URIs is a space-separate list of LDP defined preferences, and also:

URIDescription
http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository#EmbedResources  Embed "child" resources in the returned representation
http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository#InboundReferencesInclude assertions from other Fedora resources to this node (excluded from representation by default)
http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository#ServerManaged Embed server managed properties in the representation (enabled by default)

304 Not Modified

404 Not Found

406 Not Acceptable (the 'Accept' request-header media type is either invalid or unsupported)

 

POST Create new resources within a LDP container

Request Headers:

CONTENT-DISPOSITION (Optional) The filename provided in the content disposition header will be stored in a ebucore:filename property. (See 'Example (6): Uploaded file with filename')

CONTENT-TYPE (Optional) MIME type of the uploaded binary or RDF content, including: message/external-body (See ' Example (2): Create a new child binary resource with empty content ')

If the MIME type corresponds to a supported RDF format or SPARQL-Update, the uploaded content will be parsed as RDF and used to populate the child node properties.  RDF will be interpreted using the current resource as the base URI (e.g. <> will be expanded to the current URI). Namespaces must be declared in full.

For other MIME types, the uploaded content will be used to create a binary resource.

SLUG (Optional) A suggested name for the new child resource, which the repository may ignore.

The slug you provide does not guarantee the location of the created resource. Clients must check the Location header for the path to the created resource.

DIGEST (Optional) A way of providing one or more checksums (SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5) which will be checked against the uploaded content to ensure error-free transfer. The header is interpreted according to RFC-3230 (See 'Example (4): Uploaded file with checksum' and 'Example (5): Uploaded file with checksum mismatch') If the provided checksum does not match the calculated value for the uploaded file a 409 Conflict will be returned. See PATCH example for documentation on how to change the default algorithm used during on-demand fixity checking.

404 Not Found (resource does not exist – use PUT to specify a new resource name)

409 Conflict (checksum mismatch)

 

PUT  Create a resource with a specified path, or replace the triples associated with a resource with the triples provided in the request body.

Some resource properties are repository managed and cannot be removed or modified. Any attempt to do so may result in a 4xx error.

RDF will be interpreted using the current resource as the base URI (e.g. <> will be expanded to the current URI)

 

Request Headers:

CONTENT-TYPE  text/turtle, text/rdf+n3, application/n3, text/n3, application/rdf+xml, application/n-triples, text/html, text/plain, application/ld+json, message/external-body

IF-MATCH

IF-UNMODIFIED-SINCE

DIGEST (Optional) A way of providing one or more checksums (SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5) which will be checked against the uploaded content to ensure error-free transfer. The header is interpreted according to RFC-3230 (See 'Example (3): Creating new binary resource at a specified path') If the provided checksum does not match the calculated value for the uploaded file a 409 Conflict will be returned. See Fixity Service for documentation on how to change the default algorithm used during on-demand fixity checking.

PREFER With the value handling=lenient; received="minimal" allows replacing the properties of a container without having to provide all of the server-managed triples.

Example (1): Updating properties with RDF content

1.1 Perform a GET to the current container's RDF content

curl -X GET -H "Accept: text/turtle" "http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/update" 
 
Body:
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
...
PREFIX ldp: <http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#>
<http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/update> a ldp:RDFSource , ldp:Container , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0folder> , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0hierarchyNode> , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0base> , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0created> , fedora:Container , fedora:Resource , fedora:Resource , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0created> , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0lastModified> , <http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0referenceable> ;

1.2 Add your updates (e.g. <> dc:title "some-resource-title" .) under the full result of the GET response in 1.1

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: text/turtle" --data-binary "@new-triples.rdf" "http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/update"
 
Request Body:
 
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>

<http://54.173.23.104:8080/fcrepo4/rest/test1/fcr:export?format=jcr/xml> dc:format <http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/repository#jcr/xml> .
<> dc:title "some-resource-title" .
 

Response:

Status: 204 No Content

Note that to prevent conflicts, the value of the fedora:lastModified triple in the request must match its current counterpart in the repository. The way to ensure this is to base the changes in a PUT request on the RDF content obtained in an immediately prior GET request, and never try to PUT consecutively, as this will result in a 400 error.

 

Example (2): Creating a new resource at a specified path

curl -i -X PUT "http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/create"

Response:

Status: 201 Created

Response Headers:

Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/create
 
Body:
http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/create

 

Example (3): Creating new binary resource at a specified path

curl -X PUT --upload-file image.jpg -H"Content-Type: image/jpeg" -H"digest: sha1=cb1a576f22e8e3e110611b616e3e2f5ce9bdb941" "http://localhost:8080/rest/new/image"

Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/new/image
 
Body:
http://localhost:8080/rest/new/image

 

Note that once a resource is created as an RDF or non-RDF source, it must remain an RDF or non-RDF source. In order to change the type of resource, you must DELETE and then re-create the resource.

Status:

204 No Content

412 Precondition Failed

 

Example (4): Creating a new binary resource at a specified path redirecting to external content

curl -X PUT -H"Content-Type: message/external-body; access-type=URL; URL=\"http://www.example.com/file\"" "http://localhost:8080/rest/node/to/create"
