plantdb.client.plantdb_client Link

PlantDB Client ModuleLink

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 FeaturesLink

  • 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 ExamplesLink

>>> # Start a test REST API server first:
>>> # $ fsdb_rest_api --test
>>> from plantdb.client.plantdb_client import PlantDBClient
>>> from plantdb.client.rest_api import plantdb_url
>>> client = PlantDBClient(plantdb_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 Link

PlantDBClient(base_url, prefix=None)

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
prefix str

The URL prefix used by the PlantDB REST API.

None

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.

jwt_token str

The JWT token to authenticate with the PlantDB REST API.

username str

The login username.

logger Logger

The logger to use.

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:

>>> from plantdb.server.test_rest_api import TestRestApiServer
>>> # Start a test PlantDB REST API server first:
>>> server = TestRestApiServer(test=True)
>>> server.start()
>>> # Use the client against the server
>>> from plantdb.client.plantdb_client import PlantDBClient
>>> from plantdb.client.rest_api import plantdb_url
>>> client = PlantDBClient(plantdb_url())
>>> client.login('admin', 'admin')
>>> print(client.jwt_token)
>>> print(client.plantdb_url)
>>> scans = client.list_scans()
>>> print(scans)
['virtual_plant', 'real_plant_analyzed', 'real_plant', 'virtual_plant_analyzed', 'arabidopsis000']
>>> # Finally, stop the server
>>> server.stop()

Initialize the PlantDBClient with a base URL.
