I hope there are still some folks around to think about an API problem I'm
having!
We're updating URLs in our digital objects. I can easily update the URL that
exists in digital objects, using Python syntax like this:
digital_object_json['file_versions'][0]['file_uri'] = permalink
post_record = requests.post(f"{api_url}/{digital_object_uri}", headers=headers,
json=digital_object_json).json()
where "permalink" is a value I've read in from a spreadsheet. This works just
fine for me. But I wanted to get fancy and add a second URL as a thumbnail (I
can do this through the staff interface and it works the way I anticipate) as
well as a couple of notes. I thought that the syntax would be straightforward:
digital_object_json['file_versions'][1]['file_uri'] = thumbnail
digital_object_json['notes'][0]['content'] = note1
digital_object_json['notes'][0]['jsonmodel_type'] = 'note_digital_object'
digital_object_json['notes'][0]['publish'] = False
digital_object_json['notes'][0]['type'] = 'note'
digital_object_json['notes'][1]['content'] = note2
digital_object_json['notes'][1]['jsonmodel_type'] = 'note_digital_object'
digital_object_json['notes'][1]['publish'] = False
digital_object_json['notes'][1]['type'] = 'note'
where "thumbnail", "note1", and "note2" are values from the spreadsheet.
However, I'm getting this error for each of these statements:
IndexError: list index out of range
because those aren't already in the JSON that I've retrieved. How do I add to
the JSON? I'm not experienced enough with JSON or with Python and am looking
for some basic help. Any advice will be appreciated!
Best regard and happy holidays,
Karen
