Retrieve Blob

Note

Blobs in the Jitsuin Archivist system are not first-order objects in their own right: they are properties of other objects such as Asset Records or events.

Create the bearer_token and store in a file in a secure local directory with 0600 permissions.

See API Request Authorization and Authentication.

Note

The following example shows use of the API over curl in a bash terminal. The concepts are fully portable to any other REST client (eg PostMan or python requests)

Set the URL (for example):

$ export URL=https://synsation.1234-5678.nodes.archivist.jitsuin.io

Retrieve a specific Attachment

$ curl -v \
    -H "@$BEARER_TOKEN_FILE" \
    -H "content_type=image/jpg" \
    -F "file=@/path/to/file" \
    $URL/archivist/v1/blobs/08838336-c357-460d-902a-3aba9528dd22

The response is:

{
    "identity": "blobsV1/08838336-c357-460d-902a-3aba9528dd22",
    "hash": {
        "alg": "SHA256",
        "value": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    },
    "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
    "timestamp_accepted": "2019-11-07T15:31:49Z",
    "size": 31424
}
