Import Media
Import Media using the OpenDataBio R package
less than a minute
Attention
- You basically need the media files in a single folder and a table containing the attributes for each media file;
- See the POST Media API docs to understand which columns can be declared when importing Media. Only 3 columns are mandatory in the attribute table:
filename,object_type, andobject_id, but it is important to include additional information about the file, such as date, authors, title, usage license, dataset, and also Tags. - Consider adding at least one keyword (Tag) for each media file.
Importing Media via API
The method below can be done either through the API using the R package or through the web interface. Test and use whichever is faster to upload the image files.
library(opendatabio)
base_url = "https://opendb.inpa.gov.br/api"
token = "GZ1iXcmRvIFQ"
cfg = odb_config(base_url = base_url)
# path to the folder where the images are stored
folder = 'imagesParaOdb'
# list the file names
filenames = dir(folder, full.names = FALSE)
# read the attribute table
attributes = read.table('arquivoAtributos.csv', sep = ',', header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE, na.strings = c("", "NA", "-"))
# are all files listed in the attribute table?
print(paste(sum(filenames %in% attributes$filename), "of", length(filenames), "files are listed in the attribute table"))
# import to ODB
odb_upload_media_zip(folder = folder, attribute_table = attributes, odb_cfg = cfg)
