API

The FAIR Data Station also has an API function. At the moment only the validator is available through the API.

Validator

To validate an excel file you can use the following command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/api/upload -F "file=@/Users/koeho006/Downloads/ValidationDemo.xlsx"

This is used through the bash environment but it supports any programming language that can post and receive data.

It will either return the RDF file or a validatione error:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/api/upload -F "file=@/Users/koeho006/Downloads/ValidationDemo.xlsx"
 does not match the pattern of (female|hermaphrodite|male|neuter|not applicable|not collected|not provided|other|restricted access) regex (female|hermaphrodite|male|neuter|not applicable|not collected|not provided|other|restricted access) such as in example "female"
