API authentication

Create API token for users

Open a Django shell using command python manage.py shell and execute the following commands (adapt primary key of the user: pk):

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.get(pk=1)
from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
token = Token.objects.create(user=u)
print token.key

Create API Keys

User independent API keys can be managed via the "djangorestframework-api-key" administration:

http://localhost:8000/earkweb/adminrest_framework_api_key/apikey/

Generate a pool of identifiers

The system can use a pool of pre-generated identifiers which can be added or generated using the REST API function /earkweb/api/identifiers

It is also possible to generate identifiers in python as follows:

from earkweb.models import InternalIdentifier
import os
for i in range(0, 100):
    InternalIdentifier.objects.create(identifier=os.urandom(20).encode('hex'), org_nsid=org_nsid)

If the identifier assignment step during ingest fails this can be because of no identifiers being available for a given organisation namespace.
