Items Endpoints

Back to the list of all defined endpoints

Main Endpoint

/api/core/items

Provide access to the items (DBMS based). This endpoint is reserved to the administrators the common practice is to navigate to the single items via a discovery search or browse.

Currently, this endpoint only returns "archived" items which are NOT withdrawn. However, withdrawn items and Workspace/Workflow items are findable via search endpoints. Template items are findable via the corresponding collection. In the future, this endpoint is likely to be updated to include all items, regardless of status, see DSpace/DSpace#3325

Example: https://api7.dspace.org/server/#/server/api/core/items

Single Item

/api/core/items/<:uuid>

⚠️ In the below example response, the existence of the place field for specific metadata values is still under analysis. We are determining whether it can be removed entirely in favor of using the array index (as the place field represents the index of each value in an ordered array). For more details see https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-4242

Provide detailed information about a specific item. The JSON response document is as follow

{
  "uuid": "1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb",
  "name": "Practices of research data curation in institutional repositories: A qualitative view from repository staff",

Item properties:

  • handle: the handle identifier assigned to the item, if any
  • metadata: a map of all the item's metadata where the metadata field is used to build the key in the form of .[.<qualifier] and the values are an ordered list of metadata values. Administrative metadata, such as dc.description.provenance can be filtered out and available only to administrators according to the system configuration, see metadata.hide.* properties in the dspace.cfg file. For withdrawn items the actual metadata are only shown to administrators, all the other users will get an empty property
  • inArchive: it will be true only for items that have been successful deposited in the repository and have passed all, if any, the defined workflow steps. For item related to workspaceitem, workflowitem or template items this attribute will stay at false
  • discoverable: true if the item is expected to be findable trough a search or browse by authorized user
  • withdrawn: true it the item has been retired from the repository

Exposed links:

  • bundles: list of bundles within the item
  • owningCollection: the collection where the item belong to
  • mappedCollections: the collections where the item is mapped to
  • templateItemOf: the collection that have the item as template
  • relationships: the relationships to other items
  • thumbnail: the main thumbnail of the item

Status codes:

  • 200 OK - if the item is found and it is visible to the current user or the anonymous user. Withdrawn items are returned
  • 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated and the item is not visible to anonymous users
  • 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions. Please note that withdrawn items are visible to everyone without any metadata details
  • 404 Not found - if the item doesn't exist

Withdrawn item

A withdrawn item is a normal item that has been retired from the repository using a patch operation as described below. Once withdrawn the response will show an empty metadata section to everyone except than administrators.

{
   "id":"e45a63a2-3db2-47fa-824e-3e4fdfae94f1",
   "uuid":"e45a63a2-3db2-47fa-824e-3e4fdfae94f1",
   "name":"Public item 1",
   "handle":"123456789/3",
   "metadata":{
   },
   "inArchive":false,
   "discoverable":true,
   "withdrawn":true,
   "lastModified":"2021-06-21T12:53:57.871+00:00",
   "entityType":null,
   "type":"item",
   "_links":{
       ...
   }
}

Creating an archived item

POST /api/core/items?owningCollection=<:uuid>

Administrators can directly create an archived item (bypassing the workflow). The content-type is JSON. An example JSON can be seen below:

{
  "name": "Practices of research data curation in institutional repositories: A qualitative view from repository staff",
  "metadata": {
    "dc.contributor.author": [
      {
        "value": "Stvilia, Besiki",
        "language": "en",
        "authority": null,
        "confidence": -1
      }
    ],
    "dc.title": [
      {
        "value": "Practices of research data curation in institutional repositories: A qualitative view from repository staff",
        "language": "en",
        "authority": null,
        "confidence": -1
      }
    ],
    "dc.type": [
      {
        "value": "Journal Article",
        "language": "en",
        "authority": null,
        "confidence": -1
      }
    ]
  },
  "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "type": "item"
}

Creating an archived item from an external source

POST /api/core/items?owningCollection=<:uuid>

Administrators can directly create an archived item (bypassing the workflow) from an external source. The content-type is uri-list.

The URI-list should contain the external entry value whose metadata should be imported

An example curl call:

 curl -i -X POST https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items?owningCollection=1c11f3f1-ba1f-4f36-908a-3f1ea9a557eb \
 -H "Content-Type:text/uri-list" \
 --data "https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/integration/externalsources/orcid/entryValues/0000-0002-4271-0436"

Only one external entry value should be present. If multiple external entry values are present, a 400 bad request will be thrown

Updating item metadata

PUT /api/core/items/<:uuid>

Provide updated metadata information for an item, when the update is completed the updated object will be returned. The JSON to update can be found below.

{
  "id": "a8ba963f-d9c9-4198-b5a4-3f74e2ab6fb9",
  "uuid": "a8ba963f-d9c9-4198-b5a4-3f74e2ab6fb9",
  "name": "Test new title",
  "handle": "123456789/60636",
  "metadata": {
    "dc.contributor.author": [
      {
        "value": "Velasco, Mercedes",
        "language": "en",
        "authority": null,
        "confidence": -1
      }
    ],
    "dc.title": [
      {
        "value": "Test new title",
        "language": "pt_BR",
        "authority": null,
        "confidence": -1
      }
    ]
  },
  "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "type": "item"
}

Patch operations

Item metadata can be modified as described in Modifying metadata via Patch.

Additional properties can be modified via Patch as described below.

Replace

The replace operation allows to replace existent information with new one. Attempt to use the replace operation to set not yet initialized information must return an error. See general errors on PATCH requests

To withdraw an item, curl --data '[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/withdrawn", "value": true}]' -H "Authorization: Bearer ..." -H "content-type: application/json" -X PATCH ${dspace7-url}/api/core/items/${item-uuid}. The withdraw operation also requires an Authorization header.

For example, starting with the following item data:

 "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

the withdraw operation will result in:

  "inArchive": false,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": true,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

To reinstate an item, curl --data '[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/withdrawn", "value": false}]' -H "Authorization: Bearer ..." -H "content-type: application/json" -X PATCH ${dspace7-url}/api/core/items/${item-uuid}. The reinstate operation also requires an Authorization header.

For example, starting with the following item data:

 "inArchive": false,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": true,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

the reinstate operation will result in:

  "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

To make an item private (or discoverable), curl --data '[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/discoverable", "value": false}]' -H "Authorization: Bearer ..." -H "content-type: application/json" -X PATCH ${dspace7-url}/api/core/items/${item-uuid}. The discoverable operation also requires an Authorization header.

For example, starting with the following item data:

  "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": true,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

the discoverable operation will result in:

  "inArchive": true,
  "discoverable": false,
  "withdrawn": false,
  "lastModified": "2018-05-17T16:53:15.250+0000",
  "type": "item"

}

This endpoint is relevant to:

  • Retrieve only the bitstreams from a given bundle from an item (e.g. only the thumbnails)
  • Retrieve or update the order of the bitstreams in a bundle

POST /api/core/items/<:uuid>/bundles

Creating a new bundle in an item would use JSON similar to the example below:

{
  "name": "ORIGINAL",
  "metadata": {}
}

It returns the created bundle.

If a bundle with the given doesn't exist yet in the item, it will be created

Status codes:

  • 201 Created - if the operation succeed
  • 400 Bad Request - if the bundle name already exists in the item
  • 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated
  • 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions
  • 404 Not found - if the item doesn't exist
  • 412 Precondition Failed - if there is a discrepancy between the declared size or checksum and the computed one

Owning Collection

/api/core/items/<:uuid>/owningCollection

Example: https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/#https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items/1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb/owningCollection

It returns the collection where the item belong to

PUT /api/core/items/<:uuid>/owningCollection

The actual collection is part of the body using the uri-list Example:

curl -i -X PUT "https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items/1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb/owningCollection" -H "Content-Type:text/uri-list" -d "https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/collections/8e0928a0-047a-4369-8883-12669f32dd64"

  • 404 Not found - if the item doesn't exist

Mapped Collections

GET /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections

It returns all the mapped collections the item is included in.

On the item page, it should be referenced similar to:

    "mappedCollections": {
      "href": "https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items/95e5d7d9-ef4e-4e35-86cc-07bfe2f0e355/mappedCollections"
    }

GET /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections/<:collection_uuid>

Unsupported. If you want detailed information about a single mapped collection, use the /api/core/collections/<collection:uuid> endpoint.

POST /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections

A POST request will result in creating a new mapping between the item and collection. If the collection exists and is neither the owning nor mapped collection for the item, the relation should be created.

 curl -i -X POST https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items/1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb/mappedCollections 
 -H "Content-Type:text/uri-list" --data "https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/collections/1c11f3f1-ba1f-4f36-908a-3f1ea9a557eb"

The collection(s) MUST be included in the body using the text/uri-list content type

Return codes:

  • 204: if the update succeeded (including the case of no-op if the mapping was already as requested)
  • 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated
  • 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions
  • 405: if the item is a template item

Unsupported. You may replace or update mapped collections using DELETE requests and/or POST requests.

DELETE /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections

Unsupported. At this time, we do not support removing all mapped Collections in a single request. Please use DELETE /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections/<:collection_uuid> to remove mapped Collections one by one.

DELETE /api/core/items/<:uuid>/mappedCollections/<:collection_uuid>

A DELETE request will result in removing an existing mapping between the item and collection. If the collection exists and is a mapped collection for the item, the relation should be deleted.

 curl -i -X DELETE https://dspace7.4science.it/dspace-spring-rest/api/core/items/1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb/mappedCollections/1c11f3f1-ba1f-4f36-908a-3f1ea9a557eb"

The above request would remove the mapping between Collection with UUID 1c11f3f1-ba1f-4f36-908a-3f1ea9a557eb and Item with UUID 1911e8a4-6939-490c-b58b-a5d70f8d91fb.

Return codes:

  • 204: if the delete succeeded (including the case of no-op if the collection was not mapped)
  • 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated
  • 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions
  • 405: if the item is a template item
  • 422: if the specified collection is not found or is the owningCollection of the item

It embeds all relationships where either the left or the right item matches the given uuid

Main Thumbnail

/api/core/items/<:uuid>/thumbnail

It returns the bitstream which represents the main thumbnail of the item

Status codes:

  • 200 OK - returning the thumbnail
  • 204 No Content - if there is no thumbnail for the specified item
