This spreadsheet with built-in Google Apps Script converts metadata between TSV (rows on sheet) and JSON (portal's data format) and communicates with ENCODE and IGVF portals.
Go to menu ENCODE/IGVF -> Settings & auth.
Authenticate yourself for a platform of interest (ENCODE or IGVF). Create/get a key/password pair from Profile menu on the portal.
Credentials information is stored in your account's Properties object so that it's not shared with others who co-work on your spreadsheet or who make a copy of your spreadsheet.
Set endpoints for READ (GET) and WRITE (POST/PATCH/PUT) actions. ENCODE and IGVF production/test endpoints are supported.
Set a profile name. No plural (s) is allowed. Use Capitalized CamelCase or snake_case for a profile name.
Create a new sheet first.
Functions are implemented as REST-ful requests. There are two classes (USER and ADMIN) for such REST-ful actions. ADMIN functions are for DACC administors only. Use functions marked with USER and then you will be safe.
Basically, all commented headers and data under them will be ignored when communicating with the portal. That means you can have any commented header properties for your own purpose except for the following special ones.
#skip: If set as1such row will be skipped for any READ/WRITE REST actions.#response: This shows response from the portal which will be very helpful for debugging validation problems.
This will make a new template with all editable headers defined and colored. A new empty (or filled with default values) data row will also be added to the sheet.
This action uses endpoint for READ. Define any identifying property (e.g. accession, uuid or name) in the header (first) row and write values under it. For each row, retrieve metadata for the corresponding ID from the portal.
This action uses endpoint for WRITE. This requires at least one identifying property defined in the header and its value data row. For each row, replace properties, which are defined on the sheet only, on the portal with those on the sheet. So this function will not delete any properties from the portal.
This action uses endpoint for WRITE. It's recommended to use Make a new template or GET metadata from the portal and start from there. Make sure that all required properties (red) are defined on the header and data rows. For each row, post s new submission to the portal. You will see 201 in the #response if it's successful.
This action uses endpoint for WRITE. This requires at least one identifying property defined in the header and its value data row. For each row, replace ALL properties on the portal with those on the sheet. So this function will remove any missing properties from the portal. Use it at your own risk.
Go to any data cell under SEARCHABLE property (Italic+Bold properties in header) and click on the menu Search.
