Concierge Client

The Concierge Client is used to easily create BDBags and track them by Minids using the Concierge Service.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/fair-research/concierge-cli#egg=concierge_cli

This will give you a client you can use to access the Concierge Service

cbag --help

Basic Usage

Creating a bag is fast and easy, point the client at a Remote File Manifest and it will create it along with a minid.

cbag login globus
cbag create my_remote_file_manifest.json concierge-test

The result is a valid minid identifier that can be queried with the minid client:

minid ark:/99999/fk4hq54x0r

You can optionally supply metadata for bag creation:

cbag create remote-files.json "My Bag with Metadata" -m metadata.json

See the BDBag docs for more info about the structure of remote-files.json and metadata.json. For more info on cbag create you can run the following:

cbag create --help
