Method new()

Create a new Seven Bridges API Authentication object. All methods can be accessed through this object.

Usage

Auth$new(
  from = c("direct", "env", "file"),
  platform = NA,
  url = NA,
  token = NA,
  sysenv_url = NA,
  sysenv_token = NA,
  config_file = NA,
  profile_name = NA,
  fs = NA,
  authorization = FALSE
)

Arguments

from

Authentication method. Could be:

• "direct" - pass the credential information to the arguments directly,

• "env" - read from pre-set system environment variables, or

• "file" - read configurations from a credentials file.

Default is "direct".

platform

The platform to use. If neither platform nor url is specified the default is "aws-us" (Seven Bridges Platform - US). Other possible values include:

• "aws-eu" - Seven Bridges Platform - EU,

• "cgc" - Cancer Genomics Cloud,

• "ali-cn" - Seven Bridges Platform - China,

• "cavatica" - Cavatica, and

• "f4c" - BioData Catalyst Powered by Seven Bridges.

url

Base URL for API. Please only use this when you want to specify a platform that is not in the platform list above, while leaving platform unspecified.

token

API authentication token or access_token for Seven Bridges single sign-on. Authentication token uniquely identifies you on the Seven Bridges Platform and has all your data access, app management and task execution permissions. Read more about its usage here.

sysenv_url

Name of the system environment variable storing the API base URL. By default: "SB_API_ENDPOINT".

sysenv_token

Name of the system environment variable storing the auth token. By default: "SB_AUTH_TOKEN".

config_file

Location of the user configuration file.
By default: "~/.sevenbridges/credentials".

profile_name

Profile name in the user configuration file. The default value is "default".

fs

FS (FileSystem) object, for mount and unmount file system.

authorization

Is the token an API authentication token (FALSE) or an access token from the Seven Bridges single sign-on (TRUE)?

Returns

Auth class object.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Multiple ways to create Auth object

 # Using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Authenticate using environment variables
 a <- Auth$new(from = "env")

 # Authenticate using file configuration
 a <- Auth$new(from = "file")

}

---

Method get_token()

Returns the authentication token read from system environment variable.

Usage

Auth$get_token()

Returns

An API authentication token in form of a string.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Authenticate using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Get that same token
 a$get_token()
}

---

Method api()

This method returns all API paths and pass arguments to core api() function.

Usage

Auth$api(
  ...,
  limit = getOption("sevenbridges2")$limit,
  offset = getOption("sevenbridges2")$offset,
  fields = "_all"
)

Arguments

...

Other arguments passed to core api() function, like path, query parameters or full url to some resource.

limit

The maximum number of collection items to return for a single request. Minimum value is 1. The maximum value is 100 and the default value is 50. This is a pagination-specific attribute.

offset

The zero-based starting index in the entire collection of the first item to return. The default value is 0. This is a pagination-specific attribute.

fields

Selector specifying a subset of fields to include in the response. This parameter enables you to specify the fields you want to be returned when listing resources (e.g. all your projects) or getting details of a specific resource (e.g. a given project).

For example, fields="id,name,size" to return the fields id, name and size for files. Default value is set to ⁠_all⁠, so all fields are always returned for each resource. More details please check general API documentation.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Authenticate using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Create API request using request parameters directly
 a$api(params)
}

---

Method user()

Get details about the authenticated user.

Usage

Auth$user(username = NULL)

Arguments

username

The username of a user for whom you want to get basic account information. If not provided, information about the currently authenticated user will be returned.

Returns

User class object.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Authenticate using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Get information about the currently authenticated user
 a$user()
}

---

Method rate_limit()

Get information about current rate limit.

This call returns information about your current rate limit. This is the number of API calls you can make in one hour. This call also returns information about your current instance limit.

Usage

Auth$rate_limit()

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Authenticate using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Get current rate limit
 a$rate_limit()
}

---

Method upload()

This method allows you to upload a single file from your local computer to the Platform.

Usage

Auth$upload(
  path,
  project = NULL,
  parent = NULL,
  filename = NULL,
  overwrite = FALSE,
  part_size = getOption("sevenbridges2")$RECOMMENDED_PART_SIZE,
  init = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

File path on local disk.

project

Project object or its ID. Project should not be used together with parent. If parent is used, the call will upload the file to the specified Platform folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the call will upload the file to the root of the project's files.

parent

Parent folder object (of File class) or its ID. Should not be used together with project. If parent is used, the call will upload the file to the specified Platform folder, within the project to which the folder belongs. If project is used, the call will upload the file to the root of the project's files.

filename

Optional new file name. By default the uploaded file will have the same name as the original file provided with the path parameter. If its name will not change, omit this key.

overwrite

In case there is already a file with the same name in the selected platform project or folder, this option allows you to control whether that file will be overwritten or not. If overwrite is set to TRUE and a file already exists under the name specified in the request, the existing file will be deleted and a new one created in its place.

part_size

The preferred size for upload parts in bytes. If omitted or set to a value that is incompatible with the cloud storage provider, a default value will be used.

init

If TRUE, the method will initialize and return the Upload object and stop. If FALSE, the method will return the Upload object and start the upload process immediately.

Examples

\dontrun{
 # Authenticate using authentication token
 a <- Auth$new(
  token = "<your_token>",
  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # Create upload job and set destination project
 upload_job <- a$upload(
   path = "/path/to/your/file.txt",
   project = destination_project,
   overwrite = TRUE,
   init = TRUE
 )
}

---

Method list_ongoing_uploads()

This method returns the list of all ongoing uploads.

Usage

Auth$list_ongoing_uploads()

  platform = "aws-us"
 )

 # List ongoing uploads
 a$list_ongoing_uploads()
}

---

Method upload_abort()

This call aborts an ongoing multipart upload.

Usage

Auth$upload_abort(upload_id)

Arguments

upload_id

Upload object or ID of the upload process that you want to abort.

Examples

\dontrun{
