Below we assume you're running Fedora at http://localhost:8080, be sure to swap out the address with the correct value if you are not running Fedora locally. Here are some basic recipes:
Describe the root Object of the Repository
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/rest
Get the Response as "application/rdf+json" rather than the default "application/n3"
curl -H "Accept:application/rdf+json" -X GET http://localhost:8080/rest
You can get responses in the following format's:
- application/n3 (or text/rdf+n3 or text/n3)
- text/turtle
- application/n-triples
- application/rdf+xml
- application/rdf+json
Create a new Object "test" as a child of the root Object
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/rest/test?mixin=fedora:object
Now that Object "test" exists we can create a child of "test" using the same command
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/rest/test?mixin=fedora:object
Ingest a Data-stream
echo "Test Datastream" > test_datastream.txt curl -d @test_datastream.txt -X POST http://localhost:8080/rest/test/test_datastream\?mixin\=fedora:datastream
Get a Data-streams content
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/rest/test/test_datastream/fcr:content
Purge a Data-stream
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/rest/test/test_datastream
Add a new property to the "test" Object
echo "PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/> INSERT DATA { <http://localhost:8080/rest/test> dc:title 'Test Title' }" > query.txt
curl -d @query.txt -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-update" -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/rest/test/
