ELN Entries [GET, POST] – CDD Support

For security purposes, the GET and POST ELN Entries CDD Vault API commands documented here are only available for Vault Administrators.

API calls related to ELN Entries:

Retrieve

Create

Retrieve

GET /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries

Returns a summary of all available ELN entries for the Vault specified

GET /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries?async=true

Returns a zip file containing the export of all available ELN entries

Query Parameters (all optional):


`eln_entries`	Comma-separated list of ELN entry IDs
`author`	Comma separated list of ELN author IDs Note: Must be users' IDs, users' names cannot be used
`status`	Returns ELN entries that have the status specified Note: Status values are case-sensitive and are: open, submitted, or finalized
`async`	Boolean If true, do an asynchronous export (see Async Export) Use if you wish to retrieve a zip file containing exports of the actual ELN entries along with any files attached within the ELN entries. Note: any `page_size` parameter used in an API GET call that also uses the `async=true` parameter will be ignored. The GET call will return all valid data for the given GET call.
`only_ids`	Boolean If true, only the ELN Entry IDs are returned, allowing for a smaller and faster response. (Async should still be used when many IDs are expected.) Default: false
`created_before`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`created_after`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`modified_before`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm) Note: Uses date the ELN entry was last modified
`modified_after`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm) Note: Uses date the ELN entry was last modified
`submitted_date_before`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`submitted_date_after`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`finalized_date_before`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`finalized_date_after`	Date (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm)
`offset`	The index of the first object actually returned. Defaults to 0.
`page_size`	The maximum number of objects to return in this call when not using the async parameter. Default is 50, maximum is 1000. Note: any `page_size` parameter used in an API GET call that also uses the `async=true` parameter will be ignored. The GET call will return all valid data for the given GET call.
`projects`	Comma-separated list of project IDs Defaults to all available projects Limits scope of query

Notes on Date/Time

The CDD Vault API accepts ISO 8601 date/time formats in any API call that allows a date-type parameter. For example, the full date and timestamp may be used in GET calls that support a date parameter. You may still simply provide a date-only parameter like "created_after=2020-05-20".

You may also specify a date + timestamp, like "created_after= 2020-05-20 14:53:12", to indicate "20 May 2020 14:53:12 PDT" (PDT is based on the user's time zone setting). The timestamp portion can also include a UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) offset, like "created_after= 2020-05-27T14:48:40-07:00" which indicates that the time specified is -7 hours from the UTC time.

Examples

curl -H "X-CDD-Token: $TOKEN" https://app.collaborativedrug.com/api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries?eln_entries=<elnid>,<elnid>

Returns:

{
    "count": 2,
    "offset": 0,
    "page_size": 50,
    "objects": [
        {
            "id": <elnid>,
            "name": "Entry: Principles of Early Drug Discovery",
            "status": "open",
            "author": {
                "id": 123,
                "first_name": "Given-Name",
                "last_name": "Surname"
            },
            "url": "https://app.collaborativedrug.com/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries/<elnid>"
        },
        {
            "id": <elnid>,
            "name": "Entry: Data for synthesis",
            "status": "finalized",
            "author": {
                "id": 987,
                "first_name": First",
                "last_name": "Last"
            },
            "url": "https://app.collaborativedrug.com/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries/<elnid>"
        }
    ]
}

To retrieve a zip file containing the full exports of ELN entries:

curl -H "X-CDD-Token: $TOKEN" https://app.collaborativedrug.com/api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries?eln_entries=<elnid>,<elnid>&async=true

Returns:

{
 "id": 2980457,
 "created_at": "2020-08-10T19:51:03.000Z",
 "modified_at": "2020-08-10T19:51:03.000Z",
 "status": "new"
}

Noteworthy Tips

To include the “author” parameter in your API call, you must provide the user ID, not a user name. Vault Administrators may discover the available user IDs in your CDD Vault using the GET Users API call.

curl -H "X-CDD-Token: $TOKEN" https://app.collaborativedrug.com/api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/users

The “async” parameter is required to retrieve a ZIP export of your ELN entries. As an example, this GET ELN Entries API call, when used with the async=true parameter, will return an Export ID that can subsequently be retrieved using the GET Exports API call.

Create

Creates a new ELN entry

POST /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/eln/entries

The body of the POST must contain a JSON structure specifying the desired ELN entry attributes.

Allowed JSON keys for creating new ELN Entries:

title

Provide the title of the new ELN entry

project

The project id and/or name whre the new ELN Entry will be created

eln_fields

Each vault has its own specific set of ELN Fields that are created and managed by the Vault Administrator (for a Vault Administrator, see Settings > Vault > ELN Fields, to change which ELN fields are available and/or required).

{<eln_field_name>: <eln_field_value>, ... }

Example JSON for creating new ELN Entries:

{

"title":"New ELN Entry Creation",

"project":"Internal Data",

"eln_fields":{

"Institute":"Graceland CRO",

"PI":"Elvis Presley",

"Date":"2021/06/15"}

}

Note: Files may be inserted into ELN entries using the POST Files API call.
