4. Repositories

Let’s give this a try in the shell

We may need a fresh auth_token so let’s login first. After that we can build our request and send it. We’ll wrap up by decoding the JSON response and pretty printing it.

    auth_token = login(api_url, username, password)
    req = urllib.request.Request(
        url = api_url+'/repositories',
        data = None,
        header = {"X-ArchivesSpace-Session": auth_token})
    response = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
    result = json.JSONDecoder().decode(response.read().decode('utf-8'))
    print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

• How are the results organized?
• How does this compare with the API document?
