plantdb.client.plantdb_client

PlantDB Client Module

A client library for interacting with the PlantDB API, providing a streamlined interface for managing plant-related data including scans, filesets, and associated metadata.

Key Features

• Scan Management: Create new scans and manage scan metadata
• Fileset Operations: Create and manage collections of files associated with scans
• File Handling: Upload and manage individual files within filesets
• Metadata Management: Comprehensive CRUD operations for scan, fileset, and file metadata
• RESTful Interface: Implements standard HTTP methods for API communication

Usage Examples

Start a test REST API server first:

$ fsdb_rest_api --test

from plantdb.client.plantdb_client import PlantDBClient from plantdb.client.rest_api import base_url client = PlantDBClient(base_url())

Create a new scan

scan_id = client.create_scan( ... name="Plant Sample 001", ... description="Arabidopsis specimen under controlled conditions" ... )

Create a fileset for the scan

fileset_id = client.create_fileset( ... scan_id=scan_id, ... fileset_id="RGB Images", ... description="Top view RGB images" ... )

PlantDBClient

PlantDBClient(base_url)

Client for interacting with the PlantDB REST API.

This class provides methods to interact with a PlantDB REST API, allowing operations on scans, filesets, and files. It handles authentication, error processing, and provides a consistent interface for all API endpoints.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
base_url	str	The base URL of the PlantDB REST API.	required

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
base_url	str	The base URL of the PlantDB REST API.
session	Session	HTTP session that maintains cookies and connection pooling.

Notes

This client automatically handles HTTP errors and extracts meaningful error messages from the API responses. All methods will raise appropriate exceptions with descriptive messages when API requests fail.

Examples:

>>> # Start a test REST API server first:
>>> # $ fsdb_rest_api --test
>>> from plantdb.client.plantdb_client import PlantDBClient
>>> from plantdb.client.rest_api import base_url
>>> client = PlantDBClient(base_url())
>>> scans = client.list_scans()
>>> print(scans)
['virtual_plant', 'real_plant_analyzed', 'real_plant', 'virtual_plant_analyzed', 'arabidopsis000']

Initialize the PlantDBClient with a base URL.

    self.base_url = base_url
    self.session = requests.Session()

create_file

create_file(file_data, file_id, ext, scan_id, fileset_id, metadata=None)

Create a new file in a fileset and upload its data.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
file_data	str, pathlib.Path, or BytesIO	Path to the file to upload or BytesIO object containing file data	required
file_id	str	The ID of the file in the database	required
ext	str	File extension (must be one of the valid extensions)	required
scan_id	str	The ID of the scan containing the fileset	required
fileset_id	str	The ID of the fileset to create the file in	required
metadata	dict	Additional metadata for the file	None

Returns:

Type	Description
dict	Server response containing creation confirmation message

Raises:

Type	Description
RequestException	If the request fails
ValueError	If required parameters are missing or invalid
