Metax API¶
This document describes what is the minimum set of metadata from the digital preservation viewpoint that should be created into Metax before the uploaded files can packaged for digital preservation. It’s recommended to become familiar with Metax by studying Metax API documentation.
Preconditions¶
Files to be packaged for digital preservation have been uploaded to Upload REST API.
The authentication token for Metax API access can be created at Metax API Auth Token. See Metax API documentation for details.
Preparing Dataset¶
A dataset instance which wraps the uploaded files should be created into Metax. Below is an example of a minimum dataset in JSON format which can be accepted for digital preservation. Please note that there is lots of other metadata which can be associated with the dataset. Copy and paste it into your text editor to modify it based on your needs

You should modify it based on your data. Please pay attention on the identifier attribute values. Refer to Fairdata Codesets for the correct values.
The files to be associated with the dataset can be introduced by directories and/or files block.
In directories block above the value <directory identifier of data> should be replaced by the identifier of the directory where files were uploaded. The identifier can be resolved from Metax. For example, if the identifier of your project is my_project1 and your files were uploaded to /my_directory1, the metadata of the directory can be queried using the following command:
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <authToken>" https://metax.fairdata.fi/rest/directories/files?project=my_project1\&path=/my_directory1\&directories_only=true\&include_parent=true
In the following example output the directory identifier is 4b3f02d6d5493338b7a0afc336e7c659:
{
"removed": false,
"directory_path": "/my_directory1",
"project_identifier": "my_project1",
"service_created": "tpas",
"identifier": "4b3f02d6d5493338b7a0afc336e7c659",
"id": 1168,
"byte_size": 724,
"directory_modified": "2019-03-12T10:49:05.539890+02:00",
"file_count": 3,
"directory_name": "/",
"date_created": "2019-03-12T10:49:05+02:00",

"id": 1018
},
"directories": [
{
"..."
}
],
"files": []
}
Finally save the file as it will be used below to create a dataset into Metax.
Optional Dataset Metadata¶
Following optional metadata infromation can be associated with the dataset. You can copy and paste any of the example JSON blocks below to you dataset (inside research_dataset JSON block) and modify according to your needs. You can read more about the metadata attributes from Tietomallit.

Create a Dataset into Metax¶
To test dataset posting to Metax you can use the dryrun query argument in the URL:
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-X POST "https://metax.fairdata.fi/rest/v1/datasets?dryrun=true" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-binary @<path/to/file>
If the operation was successful it returns a dataset as a response but does not save anything to Metax. By dropping the dryrun argument the dataset can be created into Metax:
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-X POST "https://metax.fairdata.fi/rest/v1/datasets" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-binary @<path/to/file>
