__init__(app)

index(trans, deleted='False')

• GET /api/histories:

  return undeleted histories for the current user

• GET /api/histories/deleted:

  return deleted histories for the current user

Note

Anonymous users are allowed to get their current history

Parameters:deleted (boolean) – if True, show only deleted histories, if False, non-deleted Return type:list Returns:list of dictionaries containing summary history information

The following are optional parameters:

view: string, one of (‘summary’,’detailed’), defaults to ‘summary’

controls which set of properties to return

keys: comma separated strings, unused by default

keys/names of individual properties to return

all: boolean, defaults to ‘false’, admin-only

returns all histories, not just current user’s

If neither keys or views are sent, the default view (set of keys) is returned. If both a view and keys are sent, the key list and the view’s keys are combined. If keys are send and no view, only those properties in keys are returned.

For which properties are available see:

galaxy/managers/histories/HistorySerializer

The list returned can be filtered by using two optional parameters:

q: string, generally a property name to filter by followed

by an (often optional) hyphen and operator string.

qv: string, the value to filter by

..example:

To filter the list to only those created after 2015-01-29, the query string would look like:

‘?q=create_time-gt&qv=2015-01-29’

Multiple filters can be sent in using multiple q/qv pairs:

‘?q=create_time-gt&qv=2015-01-29&q=tag-has&qv=experiment-1’

The list returned can be paginated using two optional parameters:

limit: integer, defaults to no value and no limit (return all)

how many items to return

offset: integer, defaults to 0 and starts at the beginning

skip the first ( offset - 1 ) items and begin returning at the Nth item

..example:

limit and offset can be combined. Skip the first two and return five:

‘?limit=5&offset=3’

The list returned can be ordered using the optional parameter:

order: string containing one of the valid ordering attributes followed

(optionally) by ‘-asc’ or ‘-dsc’ for ascending and descending order respectively. Orders can be stacked as a comma- separated list of values.

..example:

To sort by name descending then create time descending:

‘?order=name-dsc,create_time’

The ordering attributes and their default orders are:

create_time defaults to ‘create_time-dsc’ update_time defaults to ‘update_time-dsc’ name defaults to ‘name-asc’

‘order’ defaults to ‘create_time-dsc’

Bases: galaxy.webapps.base.controller.BaseAPIController, galaxy.webapps.base.controller.UsesLibraryMixin, galaxy.webapps.base.controller.UsesLibraryMixinItems, galaxy.webapps.base.controller.UsesTagsMixin

__init__(app)

index(self, trans, history_id, ids=None, **kwd)

• GET /api/histories/{history_id}/contents

  return a list of HDA data for the history with the given id

Note

Anonymous users are allowed to get their current history contents

If Ids is not given, index returns a list of summary objects for every HDA associated with the given history_id.

If ids is given, index returns a more complete json object for each HDA in the ids list.

Parameters:

• history_id (str) – encoded id string of the HDA’s History
• ids (str) – (optional) a comma separated list of encoded HDA ids
• types (str) – (optional) kinds of contents to index (currently just dataset, but dataset_collection will be added shortly).

Return type:

list

Returns:

dictionaries containing summary or detailed HDA information

show(trans, id, history_id, **kwd)

• GET /api/histories/{history_id}/contents/{id}

• GET /api/histories/{history_id}/contents/{type}/{id}

  return detailed information about an HDA or HDCA within a history

Note

Anonymous users are allowed to get their current history contents

Parameters:

• id (str) – the encoded id of the HDA or HDCA to return
• id – ‘dataset’ or ‘dataset_collection’
• history_id (str) – encoded id string of the HDA’s or HDCA’s History
• view (str) – if fetching a dataset collection - the view style of the dataset collection to produce. ‘collection’ returns no element information, ‘element’ returns detailed element information for all datasets, ‘element-reference’ returns a minimal set of information about datasets (for instance id, type, and state but not metadata, peek, info, or name). The default is ‘element’.
• fuzzy_count (int) – this value can be used to broadly restrict the magnitude of the number of elements returned via the API for large collections. The number of actual elements returned may be “a bit” more than this number or “a lot” less - varying on the depth of nesting, balance of nesting at each level, and size of target collection. The consumer of this API should not expect a stable number or pre-calculable number of elements to be produced given this parameter - the only promise is that this API will not respond with an order of magnitude more elements estimated with this value. The UI uses this parameter to fetch a “balanced” concept of the “start” of large collections at every depth of the collection.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

dictionary containing detailed HDA or HDCA information

index_jobs_summary(trans, history_id, **kwd)

• GET /api/histories/{history_id}/jobs_summary

  return job state summary info for jobs, implicit groups jobs for collections or workflow invocations

Warning: We allow anyone to fetch job state information about any object they can guess an encoded ID for - it isn’t considered protected data. This keeps polling IDs as part of state calculation for large histories and collections as efficient as possible.

Parameters:

• history_id (str) – encoded id string of the target history
• ids (str[]) – the encoded ids of job summary objects to return - if ids is specified types must also be specified and have same length.
• types (str[]) – type of object represented by elements in the ids array - any of Job, ImplicitCollectionJob, or WorkflowInvocation.

Return type:

dict[]

Returns:

an array of job summary object dictionaries.

show_jobs_summary(trans, id, history_id, **kwd)

• GET /api/histories/{history_id}/contents/{type}/{id}/jobs_summary

  return detailed information about an HDA or HDCAs jobs

Warning: We allow anyone to fetch job state information about any object they can guess an encoded ID for - it isn’t considered protected data. This keeps polling IDs as part of state calculation for large histories and collections as efficient as possible.

Parameters:

• id (str) – the encoded id of the HDA to return
• history_id (str) – encoded id string of the HDA’s or the HDCA’s History

Return type:

dict

Returns:

dictionary containing jobs summary object

Parameters:

• id – encoded HistoryDatasetCollectionAssociation (HDCA) id
• history_id – encoded id string of the HDCA’s History

create(self, trans, history_id, payload, **kwd)

• POST /api/histories/{history_id}/contents/{type}s

• POST /api/histories/{history_id}/contents

  create a new HDA or HDCA

Parameters:

• history_id (str) – encoded id string of the new HDA’s History
• type (str) – Type of history content - ‘dataset’ (default) or ‘dataset_collection’. This can be passed in via payload or parsed from the route.
• payload (dict) –

  dictionary structure containing:: copy from library (for type ‘dataset’): ‘source’ = ‘library’ ‘content’ = [the encoded id from the library dataset]

  copy from library folder ‘source’ = ‘library_folder’ ‘content’ = [the encoded id from the library folder]

  copy from history dataset (for type ‘dataset’): ‘source’ = ‘hda’ ‘content’ = [the encoded id from the HDA]

  copy from history dataset collection (for type ‘dataset_collection’) ‘source’ = ‘hdca’ ‘content’ = [the encoded id from the HDCA] ‘copy_elements’ = Copy child HDAs into the target history as well,

  defaults to False but this is less than ideal and may be changed in future releases.

  create new history dataset collection (for type ‘dataset_collection’) ‘source’ = ‘new_collection’ (default ‘source’ if type is

  ’dataset_collection’ - no need to specify this)

  ’collection_type’ = For example, “list”, “paired”, “list:paired”. ‘copy_elements’ = Copy child HDAs when creating new collection,

  defaults to False in the API but is set to True in the UI, so that we can modify HDAs with tags when creating collections.

  ’name’ = Name of new dataset collection. ‘element_identifiers’ = Recursive list structure defining collection.

  Each element must have ‘src’ which can be ‘hda’, ‘ldda’, ‘hdca’, or ‘new_collection’, as well as a ‘name’ which is the name of element (e.g. “forward” or “reverse” for paired datasets, or arbitrary sample names for instance for lists). For all src’s except ‘new_collection’ - a encoded ‘id’ attribute must be included wiht element as well. ‘new_collection’ sources must defined a ‘collection_type’ and their own list of (potentially) nested ‘element_identifiers’.

..note:

Currently, a user can only copy an HDA from a history that the user owns.

Return type:dict Returns:dictionary containing detailed information for the new HDA

  Resolve parameters as a list for nested display. More client logic here than is ideal but it is hard to reason about tool parameter types on the client relative to the server. Job accessibility checks are slightly different than dataset checks, so both methods are available.

  This API endpoint is unstable and tied heavily to Galaxy’s JS client code, this endpoint will change frequently.

Parameters:

• job_id (string) – Encoded job id
• dataset_id (string) – Encoded HDA or LDDA id
• hda_ldda (string) – hda if dataset_id is an HDA id (default), ldda if it is an ldda id.

install_repository_revision(trans, payload, **kwd)

POST /api/tool_shed_repositories/install_repository_revision Install a specified repository revision from a specified tool shed into Galaxy.

Parameters:key – the current Galaxy admin user’s API key

The following parameters are included in the payload. :param tool_shed_url (required): the base URL of the Tool Shed from which to install the Repository :param name (required): the name of the Repository :param owner (required): the owner of the Repository :param changeset_revision (required): the changeset_revision of the RepositoryMetadata object associated with the Repository :param new_tool_panel_section_label (optional): label of a new section to be added to the Galaxy tool panel in which to load

tools contained in the Repository. Either this parameter must be an empty string or the tool_panel_section_id parameter must be an empty string or both must be an empty string (both cannot be used simultaneously).

Parameters:

• (optional) (shed_tool_conf) – id of the Galaxy tool panel section in which to load tools contained in the Repository. If this parameter is an empty string and the above new_tool_panel_section_label parameter is an empty string, tools will be loaded outside of any sections in the tool panel. Either this parameter must be an empty string or the tool_panel_section_id parameter must be an empty string of both must be an empty string (both cannot be used simultaneously).

• (optional) – The shed-related tool panel configuration file configured in the “tool_config_file” setting in the Galaxy config file (e.g., galaxy.ini). At least one shed-related tool panel config file is required to be configured. Setting this parameter to a specific file enables you to choose where the specified repository will be installed because the tool_path attribute of the <toolbox> from the specified file is used as the installation location (e.g., <toolbox tool_path=”database/shed_tools”>). If this parameter is not set, a shed-related tool panel configuration file will be selected automatically.

install_repository_revisions(trans, payload, **kwd)

The received parameters must be ordered lists so that positional values in tool_shed_urls, names, owners and changeset_revisions are associated.

It’s questionable whether this method is needed as the above method for installing a single repository can probably cover all desired scenarios. We’ll keep this one around just in case…

Parameters:key – the current Galaxy admin user’s API key

The following parameters are included in the payload. :param tool_shed_urls: the base URLs of the Tool Sheds from which to install a specified Repository :param names: the names of the Repositories to be installed :param owners: the owners of the Repositories to be installed :param changeset_revisions: the changeset_revisions of each RepositoryMetadata object associated with each Repository to be installed :param new_tool_panel_section_label: optional label of a new section to be added to the Galaxy tool panel in which to load

tools contained in the Repository. Either this parameter must be an empty string or the tool_panel_section_id parameter must be an empty string, as both cannot be used.

Parameters:

• tool_panel_section_id – optional id of the Galaxy tool panel section in which to load tools contained in the Repository. If not set, tools will be loaded outside of any sections in the tool panel. Either this parameter must be an empty string or the tool_panel_section_id parameter must be an empty string, as both cannot be used.
• (optional) (shed_tool_conf) – Set to True if you want to install repository dependencies defined for the specified repository being installed. The default setting is False.
• (optional) – Set to True if you want to install tool dependencies defined for the specified repository being installed. The default setting is False.
• (optional) – The shed-related tool panel configuration file configured in the “tool_config_file” setting in the Galaxy config file (e.g., galaxy.ini). At least one shed-related tool panel config file is required to be configured. Setting this parameter to a specific file enables you to choose where the specified repository will be installed because the tool_path attribute of the <toolbox> from the specified file is used as the installation location (e.g., <toolbox tool_path=”database/shed_tools”>). If this parameter is not set, a shed-related tool panel configuration file will be selected automatically.

• id (str) – the encoded id of the workflow to update
• instance (boolean) – true if fetch by Workflow ID instead of StoredWorkflow id, false by default.
• payload (dict) –

  a dictionary containing any or all the * workflow the json description of the workflow as would be

  produced by GET workflows/<id>/download or given to POST workflows

  The workflow contents will be updated to target this.

  • name optional string name for the workflow, if not present in payload,

    name defaults to existing name

  • annotation optional string annotation for the workflow, if not present in payload,

    annotation defaults to existing annotation

  • menu_entry optional boolean marking if the workflow should appear in the user’s menu,

    if not present, workflow menu entries are not modified

  • from_tool_form True iff encoded state coming in is encoded for the tool form.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

serialized version of the workflow

build_module(trans, payload={})

POST /api/workflows/build_module Builds module models for the workflow editor.

get_tool_predictions(trans, payload, **kwd)

POST /api/workflows/get_tool_predictions Fetch predicted tools for a workflow :type payload: dict :param payload: a dictionary containing two parameters:

‘tool_sequence’ - comma separated sequence of tool ids ‘remote_model_url’ - (optional) path to the deep learning model

import_shared_workflow_deprecated(trans, payload, **kwd)

POST /api/workflows/import Import a workflow shared by other users.

Parameters:workflow_id (str) – the workflow id (required) Raises:exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound

invoke(trans, workflow_id, payload, **kwd)

POST /api/workflows/{encoded_workflow_id}/invocations

Schedule the workflow specified by workflow_id to run.

Note

This method takes the same arguments as galaxy.webapps.galaxy.api.workflows.WorkflowsAPIController.create() above.

index_invocations(trans, workflow_id=None, **kwd)

GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations GET /api/invocations

Get the list of a user’s workflow invocations. If workflow_id is supplied (either via URL or query parameter) it should be an encoded StoredWorkflow id and returned invocations will be restricted to that workflow. history_id (an encoded History id) can be used to further restrict the query. If neither a workflow_id or history_id is supplied, all the current user’s workflow invocations will be indexed (as determined by the invocation being executed on one of the user’s histories).

Parameters:

• workflow_id (str) – an encoded stored workflow id to restrict query to
• history_id (str) – an encoded history id to restrict query to
• user_id (str) – an encoded user id to restrict query to, must be own id if not admin user
• view (str) – level of detail to return per invocation ‘element’ or ‘collection’.
• step_details (bool) – If ‘view’ is ‘element’, also include details on individual steps.

Raises:

exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound

show_invocation(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id} GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}

Get detailed description of workflow invocation

Parameters:

• invocation_id (str) – the invocation id (required)
• step_details (bool) – fetch details about individual invocation steps and populate a steps attribute in the resulting dictionary. Defaults to false.
• legacy_job_state (bool) – If step_details is true, and this is set to true populate the invocation step state with the job state instead of the invocation step state. This will also produce one step per job in mapping jobs to mimic the older behavior with respect to collections. Partially scheduled steps may provide incomplete information and the listed steps outputs are the mapped over step outputs but the individual job outputs when this is set - at least for now.

Raises:

exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound

cancel_invocation(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

DELETE /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id} DELETE /api/invocations/{invocation_id} Cancel the specified workflow invocation.

Parameters:invocation_id (str) – the usage id (required) Raises:exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound

show_invocation_report(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/report GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/report

Get JSON summarizing invocation for reporting.

show_invocation_report_pdf(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/report.pdf GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/report.pdf

Get JSON summarizing invocation for reporting.

invocation_step(trans, invocation_id, step_id, **kwd)

GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/steps/{step_id} GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/steps/{step_id}

Parameters:

• invocation_id (str) – the invocation id (required)
• step_id (str) – encoded id of the WorkflowInvocationStep (required)
• payload – payload containing update action information for running workflow.

Raises:

exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound

invocation_step_jobs_summary(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

• GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/step_jobs_summary GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/step_jobs_summary

  return job state summary info aggregated across per step of the workflow invocation

Warning: We allow anyone to fetch job state information about any object they can guess an encoded ID for - it isn’t considered protected data. This keeps polling IDs as part of state calculation for large histories and collections as efficient as possible.

Parameters:invocation_id (str) – the invocation id (required) Return type:dict[] Returns:an array of job summary object dictionaries for each step

invocation_jobs_summary(trans, invocation_id, **kwd)

• GET /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/jobs_summary GET /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/jobs_summary

  return job state summary info aggregated across all current jobs of workflow invocation

Warning: We allow anyone to fetch job state information about any object they can guess an encoded ID for - it isn’t considered protected data. This keeps polling IDs as part of state calculation for large histories and collections as efficient as possible.

Parameters:invocation_id (str) – the invocation id (required) Return type:dict Returns:a job summary object merged for all steps in workflow invocation

update_invocation_step(trans, invocation_id, step_id, payload, **kwd)

PUT /api/workflows/{workflow_id}/invocations/{invocation_id}/steps/{step_id} PUT /api/invocations/{invocation_id}/steps/{step_id}

Update state of running workflow step invocation - still very nebulous but this would be for stuff like confirming paused steps can proceed etc….

Parameters:

• invocation_id (str) – the usage id (required)
• step_id (str) – encoded id of the WorkflowInvocationStep (required)

Raises:

exceptions.MessageException, exceptions.ObjectNotFound
