Apollo API Library

Apollo is a Python library for interacting with Apollo. Arrow is its companion CLI tool.

for the record ... arrow makes working with Apollo SOOO much easier — Nathan Dunn, Apollo Developer

Installation

pip install apollo

Examples

Example code to create a new organism and add yourself in the permission list:

from apollo import ApolloInstance
wa = ApolloInstance('https://fqdn/apollo', '[email protected]', 'password')

orgs = wa.organisms.add_organism(
    "Yeast",
    "/path/to/jbrowse/data",
    genus='Saccharomyces',
    species='cerevisiae',
    public=False
)

# Give Apollo a second to process the uploaded organism.
time.sleep(1)

# Then add yourself to permission list
data = wa.users.update_organism_permissions(
    "[email protected]",
    "Yeast",
    write=True,
    export=True,
    read=True,
)

If you have already created an Arrow config file (with command arrow init), you can also get an ApolloInstance without writing credentials explicitely:

from arrow.apollo import get_apollo_instance
wa = get_apollo_instance()

Or with the Arrow client:

$ arrow groups create_group university
{
    "publicGroup": false,
    "class": "org.bbop.apollo.UserGroup",
    "name": "university",
    "users": null,
    "id": 558319
}
# THEN
$ arrow users get_users | \
    jq '.[] | select(.username | contains("@tamu.edu")) | .username' | \
    xargs -n1 arrow users add_to_group university
# OR
$ arrow users get_users | \
    jq '.[] | select(.username | contains("@tamu.edu")) | .username' | \
    paste -s -d',' | \
    xargs arrow group update_membership 558319 --users
