arks_processing

This repo contains code to retrieve and mint ARKs. For both scripts you will need to put your authorization token in auth_token

You can find the auth token here https://libapps.colorado.edu/api/user/

Note: You can only mint for collections that have a 1:1 relationship between record and item in luna. It will not work if one record is linked to multiple items.

Do not mint for Charles F. Snow, Colorado Historical Maps, or Publishers Bindings.

getARKs.py

This script pulls down all ARKs that are currently in the server, and outputs them in a csv arks_[current date].csv

python getARKs.py

mintARKs.py

This script mints ARKs based on URLs for items in the CUDL.

1. Export metadata from CUDL
2. Make sure 'Identifier ARK#1' is a column in the csv
3. On the CLI run python mintARKs.py inputfile.csv outputfile.csv. Output file can be whatever you would like to call it
4. Run the script on test
5. Make sure that no ARKs were overwritten between the input and output file
6. Run on prod
7. Check that ARKs in prod spreadsheet resolve correctly
8. Reupload csv to CUDL

deleteARKs.py

This script takes a csv of ARKs and deletes them.

1. Export metadata from CUDL
2. Make sure 'Identifier ARK#1' is a column in the csv
3. On the CLI run python deleteARKs.py inputfile.csv
4. Check that ARKs in spreadsheet no longer resolve
5. Remove AKRs from spreadsheet and reupload csv to CUDL

testARKs.py

This script takes a list of ARKs and tests them for HTTP errors. Prints results to terminal.

1. Run python getARKs.py
2. Run python testARKs.py [output file from step 1]

updateARKs.py

Takes new URLs and replaces the old resolve URLs on the server so that the ARK can resolve to the new one. Requires a csv with the arks and the new URLs. The csv must have two columns: Identifier ARK#1 which contains the ark that needs to be updated, and lnexp_PAGEURL which contains the new URL that the ARK will resolve to. This one can only be run on production

1. Run python updateARKs.py [csv file]
