Request URI: /path/to/some/resource

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

Retrieve the content of the resource

Request Headers:

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

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\""

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)

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:

URI	Description
http://fedora.info/definitions/fcrepo#PreferInboundReferences	Include 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)
http://www.w3.org/ns/oa#PreferContainedDescriptions	Embed "child" resources in the returned representation
http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferContainment	Include/Exclude "ldp:contains" assertions to contained resources (enabled by default)
http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferMembership	Include/Exclude assertions to member resources established by the Direct and Indirect containers (enabled by default)
http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#PreferMinimalContainer	Include/Exclude triples that would be present when the container is empty (enabled by default)

Example (1): Turtle

Body:

Status:

Not Modified

Not Found

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

Create new resources within a LDP container

Request Headers:

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

(Optional) MIME type of the uploaded binary or RDF content (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.

(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.

(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. Valid `Digest` algorithms/values are: sha, sha-256, or md5.

With a value containing subfield rel= http://fedora.info/definitions/fcrepo#ExternalContent the client may provide binary content from an external path. See the external content documentation for details about syntax and handling options (note, this is disabled by default), and Example 7 for usage.

Body:

Status:

Created

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

Conflict (checksum mismatch)

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:

text/turtle, text/rdf+n3, application/n3, text/n3, application/rdf+xml, application/n-triples, text/html, text/plain, application/ld+json

(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. Valid `Digest` algorithms/values are: sha, sha-256, or md5.

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

With a value containing subfield rel=http://fedora.info/definitions/fcrepo#ExternalContent the client may provide binary content from an external path . See the external content documentation for details about syntax and handling options (note, this is disabled by default), and Example 4 for usage.

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#>

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:

<> 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

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

curl -X PUT --upload-file image.jpg -H"Content-Type: image/jpeg" -H"digest: sha=cb1a576f22e8e3e110611b616e3e2f5ce9bdb941" "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:

No Content

Precondition Failed

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

Move a resource (and its subtree) to a new location

NOTE: The MOVE action has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Fedora.

Note: A federated resource can be moved within the federation, but not from the federation to the internal repository (or vice versa)

Example (1):

curl -X MOVE -H "Destination: http://localhost:8080/rest/new/path/to/resource" "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/resource"

Response:

Status: 201 Created
 
Headers:
Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/new/path/to/resource

Example (2):

curl -X MOVE "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/resource"

Response:

Status: 502 Bad Gateway

Status:

Created

Source path doesn't exist

Destination path already exists

Destination URI isn't a valid resource path

Copy a resource (and its subtree) to a new location

NOTE: The COPY action has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Fedora.

Example:

curl -X COPY -H "Destination: http://localhost:8080/rest/new/path/to/resource" "http://localhost:8080/rest/path/to/resource"

Response:

Status: 201 Created
 
Headers:
Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/new/path/to/resource

Status:
