Data Management

The Data Management API provides users a way to store and access data across the Forge Platform.

Create a Bucket and Upload a File

To create a bucket, first get a token with the bucket:create, bucket:read, and data:write scopes.

resp <- getToken(id = Sys.getenv("client_id"), secret = Sys.getenv("client_secret"), 
            scope = "bucket:create bucket:read data:write")
myToken <- resp$content$access_token

Then use the makeBucket() function to create a bucket, where bucket is a name for the bucket.

resp <- makeBucket(token = myToken, bucket = "mybucket")

To check the status of a bucket:

resp <- checkBucket(token = myToken, bucket = "mybucket")
resp

Finally, to upload a file to the bucket, use the uploadFile() function, which returns an object containing the bucketKey, objectId (i.e. urn), objectKey (i.e. file name), size, contentType (i.e. "application/octet-stream"), location and other content information. Note the unique urn of the file and store it in .Renviron for future use.

resp <- uploadFile(file = system.file("samples/aerial.dwg", package = "AutoDeskR"),
            token = myToken, bucket = "mybucket")
myUrn <- resp$content$objectId
