Automatic storage of enriched manifests

[Annabelle Wiegart]

Is there any way to automate the following steps?

• Enhance the annotated manifests with the JSON snippets specifying the search service and the annotation list

• Save the enhanced manifests on the web server

Goal: The annotated manifests can be searched for annotations without the user having to copy and paste JSON snippets manually.
Would it be possible, for instance, to make a python script interact with the SAS in order to achieve this goal, similarly to the Batch downlading annotations (https://github.com/glenrobson/SimpleAnnotationServer/blob/master/doc/DownloadAnnotations.md)?

Plans:

• Implement /manifests/1245635613/1969268/5bbada360fbe7c8f72a8153896686398.json
  • /manifests/<user_id>/<manifest_short_id>.json
• Generate manifest on first access
• Have re-generate button
• Pulls in remote manifest adds search service and annotation lists for each canvas (these annotation lists are empty of canvases without annotations).
  • Search service: /search-api/<user_id>/<manifest_short_id>/search
  • Annotations: /annotations/<user_id>/<canvas_short_id>.json
