Oh, I missed the second part:
So, that endpoint returns the XML directly as the body of the response in
memory. The JSONDecodeError you’re getting is due to trying to decode this
body as JSON, when what you actually have is XML!
If you want to save it to the filesystem, you just need to write it out:
response =
client.get('repositories/5/resource_descriptions/5734.xml?include_unpublished=false&include_daos=true&numbered_cs=true&print_pdf=false&ead3=false')
with open('myfile.xml', 'wb') as f:
file.write(response.content)
Keep in mind also the parameter-passing stuff from my other email, so the
request there can be written as:
client.get('repositories/5/resource_descriptions/5734.xml',
params={'include_unpublished': False, 'include_daos': True, 'numbered_cs':
True, 'print_pdf': False, 'ead3': False})
Hope this helps!

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Search Across Repositories and Get EAD XML
- ArchivesSpace API
Dear ArchivesSpace Members,
Hello, my name is Corey Schmidt and I’m working as the ArchivesSpace Project
Manager at the University of Georgia. I hope you all are doing well and having
a good start to your week.
I have two questions about how to utilize the ArchivesSpace API. First, I want
to use the
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivesspace.github.io_archivesspace_api_-23search-2Dacross-2Drepositories&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=_Mv1dY22K7jvT5MD7xjbvGVzRDOUMhx4WYcnPSIzYnE&m=B2y_0wn1HLyXldJyck05IgPrsrOCn8LyjRI8q5uSbtc&s=_eqqK2s6KdcWsYV9Ke0loG2mitQ-I_nV-F9VeT24-l0&e=
API endpoint searching with the resource identifier and take the results to
get the URI for that resource. How do I structure my call to the API using the
ASnake client (in python)? I have tried the following code with response 400
returned:
client.get('search/repositories?type="resource"&q=ms954&all_ids=true')
client.get('/search/repositories?q=ms954&type="resource"&all_ids=true')
Second, I want to download an EAD xml file directly from the API using this
endpoint:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__archivesspace.github.io_archivesspace_api_-23get-2Dan-2Dead-2Drepresentation-2Dof-2Da-2Dresource&d=DwMFAg&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=_Mv1dY22K7jvT5MD7xjbvGVzRDOUMhx4WYcnPSIzYnE&m=B2y_0wn1HLyXldJyck05IgPrsrOCn8LyjRI8q5uSbtc&s=xwd2j6qv-zYs8pDbLpLM23dcSeDYcPUkZSAuio8FEVQ&e=
XML. How do I specify where the EAD xml file saves to? I’m not even sure if it
is saving anywhere on my computer. However, my requests are successful,
generating a 200 response. I tried turning the response into json (using
ASnake’s .json()) and writing it, but I keep getting a JSONDecodeError. This is
my request:
request_ead =
client.get('repositories/5/resource_descriptions/5734.xml?include_unpublished=false&include_daos=true&numbered_cs=true&print_pdf=false&ead3=false')
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Corey
