SWH API Client Documentation:

This API client/connector has been developed as part of the FAIR4CoreEOSC project to address two project's pillars (Archive and Reference).

The API is wrapped round the Illuminate Http package and the GuzzleHTTP library. The functionality and use-cases are based upon the Software Heritage workflow provided as the server-side of communications.

Project Tracking	https://github.com/orgs/dagstuhl-publishing/projects/8

API Principles

As will be explored, the API interacts with the following SWH Merkle DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) Model:

API Connections Classes

The following settings are related to the base connection classes:

Base connection classes (summary)
- HTTPClient: Initialises a PendingRequest instance with essential configurations for outgoing calls and defines the expected SWH endpoints.
- SyncHTTP: Invokes synchronous HTTP calls and can receive multiple modifiable configurations.
  
  Asynchronous calls: At the time of writing, SWH does not support such a pattern on the server-side (TODO).
Default Configurations

The following configs are pre-configured in the API Client for all outgoing requests to SWH:

Config	Value	Notes
`accept`	`application/json`	- Specify the content type expected in SWH response to initiated requests.
`decode_content`	`gzip`	- Pass `gzip` as the `Accept-Encoding` header. - Allows data transfer compression.
`debug`	`false`	- Enable debug output (`cURL` verbose of `CURLOPT_VERBOSE` will be emitted).
`delay`	`0`	- The number of milliseconds to delay before sending requests to SWH.
`allow_redirects`	- `max: 1` - `strict: true` - `protocols: https` -`track_redirects: true`	- Describes the redirect behaviour to SWH request: - Maximum number of allowed redirects. - use `strict` RFC compliant redirects. - Allowed protocol for redirect requests. - Redirected URI and status code are tracked in headers(`X-Guzzle-Redirect-History` and `X-Guzzle-Redirect-Status-History`).
`force_ip_resolve`	`v4`	- Enforces ipv4 protocol only.
`verify`	`true`	- Enables SSL certificate verification of SWH. - Uses the default CA bundle provided by OS.
`version`	`1.1`	- HTTP Protocol version to use with the request.
`synchronous`	`true`	- Inform HTTP handlers that waiting on SWH response is expected

Default Throwables (Exceptions)

The following Exceptions are caught (and returned gracefully to the invoking methods) by the API Client regardless to SWH endpoints:

Exception	On	Notes
`RequestException`	Client-side errors	`e.g.` All 400-level errors except SWH-endpoints-related errors `(e.g., 400, 404)`; these will be reported individually per SWH endpoint, see class methods below
`GuzzleRequestException`	Internal errors	`e.g.` Configuration Errors
`ConnectionException`	Internal errors	`e.g.` Configuration Errors/loss of connectivity, ..
`ValidationException`	Non-valid `URL/SHA1`	`e.g.` Non-valid parameters expected by SWH endpoints before invoking a SWH call
`Exception`	- SWH Server-side errors - HTTP Method mismatch - Invalid/Unsupported SWH endpoint - All other errors	`e.g.` All 500-level Errors, Unexpected, ..

Accessing Errors (Exceptions) through any instantiated class object, $obj

> $obj->getErrors()     // Access the most recent error reported by the API

> $obj->getMessages()   // Gets the Exception message
> $obj->getFile()       // Gets the file in which the exception occurred
> $obj->getCode()       // Gets the Exception code
> $obj->getLine()       // Gets the line in which the exception occurred
> $obj->getTrace()      // Gets the stack trace

Preset Configurations

The following configs can be tweaked on different levels:

Config	Value/Type	Notes	Level
`debug`	`bool`	- Allows debugging from handshake till connection closure. - Defualt: `false`	Method
`delay`	`ms`	- Specifies delay before some calls in ms. - Default: `0`	Method
`withHeaders`	`bool`	- Outputs SWH response headers along with the response body	Method
`requireSnapshot`	`bool`	- Outputs the latest visit that has a snapshot in the `visit` endpoint	Method
`stringType`	`bool`	- Shows a string output on checking for SWH object or an origin existence	Method
`distinctSnaps`	`bool`	- Avoids snapshot redundancy in all stored visits of the SWH `visits endpoint` of an origin.	Method
`distinct`	`bool`	- Avoids snapshot redundancy in all stored archive requests of the SWH `save endpoint` of an origin.	Method
`apiURL`	`URL`	- Sets SWH production/staging API URL. - Default: `SWH production URL` - Read from `config/swh.php` to `.env` file.	Class
`isVerbose`	`bool`	- Allows detailed progress logging from method invoking to end results. - Default: `false`	Class
`fileDatestamp`	`bool`	- Allows temporarily logging to a date-stamped file. - Default: `false` Stored under `(storage/logs/swhAPI.log)`	Class
`responseType`	`collect\|object\|json`	- Receives SWH response in one of these types - `Collection` - `Object` - `Array (default)`	Class
`echoFlag`	`bool`	- Allows echoing output to `stdout` in the opened tinker session	Class
`timeout`	`5`	- The maximum number of seconds to wait while trying to connect to SWH - Throws `ConnectionException` when exhausted.	Class
`connectTimeout`	`5`	- The maximum number of seconds to wait for a SWH response.	Class
`retry`	`5`	- Attempt retries if there has been `connectionException` or `$e->response->status() >= 500` - Throws `RequestException` when exhausted.	Class
`sleepMilliseconds`	`5000`	- The number of milliseconds to wait in between retry attempts.	Class

A) Class-level Options:

Setting such options via setOptions() method:

Note

The following 4 options can be changed during the course of any workflow. i.e. have immediate effect.

> namespace Module\HTTPConnector;
> use Module\HTTPConnector;    
    
    //   Specify multiple `class-level` options as named parameters     
    
> HTTPClient::setOptions(responseType:'object', apiURL: 'https://webapp.staging.swh.network')

> HTTPClient::setOptions(isVerbose: true, fileDatestamp: false)

Note

The following 4 options are available only for the lifetime of instantiated object, i.e. once changed, a new object should be redefined.

    //   Specify multiple `class-level` options as named parameters
    
> HTTPClient::setOptions(connectTimeout: 10, timeout: 30, retry: 2, sleepMilliseconds: 1500)

Setting such options on individual static members:

// Specify `class-level` options individually on the following `HTTPClient` class static properties:

> HTTPClient::$responseType = 'collect'                     // SWH responses will be rendered as Collections

> HTTPClient::$apiURL='https://webapp.staging.swh.network'  // Invokes requests on the SWH staging server instead

> HTTPClient::$logFileTimestamp = true                      // temporarily log output to a timestamped file

> HTTPClient::$echoFlag = true                              // allow echoing output to `stdout` in the opened tinker session
⋮

B) Method-level Options:

These options are defined on individual methods (see which ones as described below for applicability)

// Specify `method-level` options as named parameters:
> namespace Module\Archival;
> use Module\Archival; 

> $archiveRequest = new Archive('https://github.com/RamyTestAccount/D2','git')
> $archiveRequest->save2swh(debug: true, delay:2000)    // e.g. options defined on `save2swh` method

III) GraphNode

This class deals abstractly with swh objects (snapshot, revision, release, directory, content) as individual graph nodes on object-basis by implementing typical (Merkle DAG) graph node use cases. The use cases are gathered in the Interface it implements.

new GraphNode($swhid[, ...$options])

Extends: syncHTTP

Extends: HTTPClient

$swhid: <string> the SWHID

...$options: named parameters Configs

Throws TypeError On malformed SwhID

Implements SwhNodes

This class Implements the SwhNodes Interface which comprises the following functionality for any node:

Method	Notes
`which()`	determines which node type it is.
`nodeExists()`	checks if it's a swh-compatible node.
`nodeHopp()`	retrieves all node information.
`nodeEdges()`	builds the entire node edges.
`nodeTargetEdge()`	retrieves a specific target edge from the node edges set.
`nodeTraversalTo()`	traverses forwardly to the target node from the initialised node.

`Issues Tracking`	https://github.com/dagstuhl-publishing/faircore4eosc/issues/164

Instantiate a node object for any SWH object (snapshot, revision, release, directory, content), Examples:

> namespace Module\DAGModel;
> use Module\DAGModel; 

> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:snp:bcfd516ef0e188d20056c77b8577577ac3ca6e58')
> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:rev:2d3af2a2db948a44caed042994a4f1779c8ea7c1')
> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:rel:8a6b8c6072364f068c490fcd07c42ad52748dca9')
> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:dir:8af8598a33cb11038a8d974ed213a31a49ef8612')
> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:cnt:22fd0c4c0a0a9b6f87f89169352357cb3a386618')

Node objects can also be instantiated using SWH Contextual IDs, Examples:

> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:snp:bcfd516ef0e188d20056c77b8577577ac3ca6e58')

    // Directory Context
> $nodeObject = new GraphNode('swh:1:dir:58b57d150d3350b7702df80bf0d327a6474fa528;origin=https://github.com/openssl/openssl;visit=swh:1:snp:287360875eb1c114873f020be414ad1db8629557;anchor=swh:1:rev:d6e4056805f54bb1a0ef41fa3a6a35b70c94edba')

    // Snapshot Context

IV) GraphHopping

This class reveals all information, full JSON data, regarding SWH Objects (akin to hopping on graph nodes). This class is abstract with all its methods set as static, hence no object instantiation is necessary; all methods are accessible throughout as global functions. This class provides access to conveniently deal with SWH objects (graph nodes) based on self-explanatory naming of its methods.

Abstract GraphHopping::class

Abstract class usage:

> namespace Module\DAGModel;
> use Module\DAGModel;

V) GraphEdges

This class reveals all information about any SWH Object Edges (child nodes). This class is abstract with all its methods set as static, hence no object instantiation is necessary; all methods are accessible throughout as global functions. The class provide access to conveniently deal with SWH objects on explanatory naming.

Abstract GraphEdges::class

Abstract class usage:

> namespace Module\DAGModel;
> use Module\DAGModel; 

> GraphEdges::methodName();     // methodName() is prepended with the class name and two colons `::`

`Issues Tracking`	https://github.com/dagstuhl-publishing/faircore4eosc/issues/35

GraphEdges Methods:

Resolve a snapshot node to one of its edges as given by the in-branch name (default: main/master or what HEAD points to). Null is returned if target doesn't exist.

This method follows pagination and searches the entire node contents for the requested child node.

`Class static` Method	Method Arguments	Returns	`SWH` Endpoint	`HTTP` Method
`getRevOrRelFromSnp($snpID[, $inBranches])`	- `<string> $snpID:` `40-hex-chars` `full SWHID` - `<mixed> inBranches:` `string: branch/release name` `int: pull Request #`	- `SwhCoreID` - `Null` - `Throwable: RequestException \| TypeError \| Exception`	`snapshot`	GET

Without specifying a target edge, it will default to: main/master branch and utilises HEAD to locate default branch naming in the process.

Resolve a release node to its direct edge (rev/rel). As per SWH docs, Release nodes can branch into another release or directly to revision nodes.

If revID is eventually sought, then traversing (see GraphTraversal class) to the revision node is relevant instead, traverseFromRelToRev().

VI) GraphTraversal

This class allows the traversal to any child node from a parent node (i.e. SWH objects). This class is abstract with all its methods set as static, hence no object instantiation is necessary; all methods are accessible throughout as global functions. The class provide access to conveniently deal with SWH objects on explanatory naming.

Abstract GraphTraversal::class

Abstract class usage:

> namespace Module\DAGModel;
> use Module\DAGModel; 

> GraphTraversal::methodName();     // methodName() is prepended with the class name and two colons `::`

`Issues Tracking`	https://github.com/dagstuhl-publishing/faircore4eosc/issues/64

GraphTraversal Methods:

Traverse from snapshot node to any child node, revision, release (resolved to its revision), directory, content specified by an Array of Queues for target nodes.

This method resolves the children nodes directly to their nodeIDs (SWHIDs/SwhObjects).

This method amends automatically the branchName key if part of the branch name is appended to the path key instead. i.e. the path queue pushes entries to the branch queue on demand.

`Class static` Method	Method Arguments	Returns	`SWH` Endpoint	`HTTP` Method
`traverserFromSnp($snpID[, $nodeQueues])`	-`<SWHCoreID>: $snpID: full SWHID (new SWHCoreID($snpID))` - `<array>: nodeQueues: array of two Queues` `$nodeQueues['branchName']: queue of branch names` `nodeQueues['path']: queue of path nodes`	- `stdClass (object)` - `Throwable: RequestException \| TypeError \| Exception`	- `snapshot` - `revision` - `release` - `directory` - `content`	GET

Define method arguments (node names to traverse to):

> use Ds\Queue;

> $snpID = (new SwhVisits('https://github.com/RamyTestAccount/D2'))->getSnpFromVisit('latest')

= Modules\DataType\SwhCoreID {#6545
    +"snp": "swh:1:snp:d45df836d3d2793ffceac488140f56d8719875ac",
  }

    // define branch queue (if in doubt, place any trailing entry to the path queue)

> $nodeQueues['branchName'] = new Queue(['5th-branch', 'maths', 'dev'])     
= Ds\Queue {#6945
    0: "5th-branch",
    1: "maths",
    2: "dev",
    count: 3,
    capacity: 8,
    +0: "5th-branch",
    +1: "maths",
    +2: "dev",
  }

> $nodeQueues['path'] = new Queue(['Matlab', 'Rosenbrock.m'])           // define the path nodes
= Ds\Queue {#7026
    0: "Matlab",
    1: "Rosenbrock.m",
    count: 2,
    capacity: 8,
    +0: "Matlab",
    +1: "Rosenbrock.m",
  }

Traverse from the snpashot node to the revision whose name is 5th-branch/maths/dev and to the content node whose relative path (from root dir) is Matlab/RosenBrock.m

> GraphTraversal::traverseFromSnp($snpID, $nodeQueues)

= {#7018
    +"snp": "swh:1:snp:d45df836d3d2793ffceac488140f56d8719875ac",
    +"rev": "swh:1:rev:6b3f8635f87b9cca6bd3bad660da973ab8790094",
    +"cnt": "swh:1:cnt:5de355c5291614aa07120e4e77aa928c6168e8ce",
  }

Traverse from the snpashot node to the defaults (default branch, its root directory)

> GraphTraversal::traverseFromSnp($snpID)        // drop out the nodeQueues argument

= {#6981
    +"snp": "swh:1:snp:d45df836d3d2793ffceac488140f56d8719875ac",
    +"rev": "swh:1:rev:0b719b2b5a93c2c06335e6afc6c8af145aa6444d",
    +"dir": "swh:1:dir:9b82760ee153c3374d4fc88b3ede355e039452ee",
  }

Traverse from revision node to a child node (directory/content) specified by its path relative the root directory (i.e. direct revision edge).

This method resolves the child node directly to its nodeID (SWHID/SwhObject).

`Class static` Method	Method Arguments	Returns	`SWH` Endpoints	`HTTP` Method
`traverserFromRev($revID, $path)`	- `<string> $revID:` `40-hex-chars` `full SWHID` - `string $path` `(root-relative)` `(sub)directory` `content`	- `SwhCoreID` - `Throwable: RequestException \| TypeError \| Exception`	`revision`	GET

As an example: we can start from the latest snapshot of a repository to reach an example revision:

> namespace Module\OriginVisits;
> use Module\OriginVisits; 

> $latestSnpID = (new SwhVisits('https://gitlab.mis.mpg.de/rok/mathrepo'))
                ->getSnpFromVisit('latest')
                ->getSwhid()

> $revID = (new GraphNode($latestSnpID))
          ->nodeTargetEdge('refs/heads/master')
          ->getSwhid()

Then traverse to the following children nodes (of the revision node) from revID:

> GraphTraversal::traverseFromRev($revID, 'source/GibbsManifolds/numerical_implicitization.jl')      // traverse from $revID to content child node

= Modules\DataType\SwhCoreID {#6629
    +"cnt": "swh:1:cnt:2071ba0e9f5a7a39597ef5d7009d091be368fba9",
  }

    +"dir": "swh:1:dir:0c9888d32fdd676684c17faee1cc20a89d8de822",
  }

> GraphTraversal::traverseFromRev($revID, '.')       // `dot` implies root directory as traversal target

= Modules\DataType\SwhCoreID {#6584

VII) Archive

This class allows for repositories archival, tracking archival status and eventually builds the graph nodes that corresponds to the given SW origin. The class also allows through the fluent of() method for retrieving archival data as stored in SWH.

On object instantiation, the given SW origin is processed to:

detect visit type
build the paths that will be propagated to inside the graph model as an array of queues.
throw errors on non-supported repositories or visit types respectively.
initialises an Archivable object to help retrieve additional archival information for the given SW origin as stored in SWH. Done via the static method of() as will be shown.

Currently, supported repositions: GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket

Currently, supported visit types: git

new Archive($url[, $visitType[, ...$options]])

Extends: syncHTTP

Extends: HTTPClient

$url: <string> the origin url

$visitType: <string> the origin visit type (optional, can be omitted)

...$options: named parameters Configs

Throws Exception|UnhandledMatchError (On non-supported visit types | on non-supported repository type) respectively

Implements SwhArchive

This class Implements the SwhArchive Interface which comprises the following functionality for any archival request:

Method	Notes
`save2Swh()\|repository()`	Submit an archival request for a given SW origin.
`getArchivalStatus()`	retrieve current status data of an archival request.
`trackArchivalStatus()`	Continuously requests status data of an archival request till success.
`getLatestArchivalAttempt()`	retrieves the data of the latest archival attempt for a given SW origin.
`getSnpFromSaveRequest()`	retrieve the root node (`snapshot`) of a any successful archival attempt.

`Issues Tracking`	https://github.com/dagstuhl-publishing/faircore4eosc/issues/10

Archive Methods:

Submit an archival request to SWH for the defined SW origin and receive the first status response accordingly.

There are two variants for this method.

I) Non-static save method:

`Class static` Method	Method `$options` (defaults)	Returns	`SWH` Endpoint	`HTTP` Method
`save2Swh([...$options])`	Named Parameters: - `withHeaders: bool (false)` - `delay: ms (0)` - `debug: bool (false)`	- `Iterable\|Collection\|stdClass` - `Throwable: RequestException \| Exception`	`save`	POST

> $archiveObject = new Archive('https://github.com/hylang/hy/tree/stable/hy/core')    // base repository with paths

> $archiveObject->save2Swh()   

= [
    "id" => 823148,
    "origin_url" => "https://github.com/hylang/hy",
    ⋮
    "save_request_date" => "2023-11-11T23:09:30.263581+00:00",
    "save_request_status" => "accepted",
    "save_task_status" => "not yet scheduled",
     ⋮
    "snapshot_swhid" => null,
    ⋮
  ]

II) Static save method:

`Class static` Method	Method `$options` (defaults)	Returns	`SWH` Endpoint	`HTTP` Method
`repository($url[,$visitType[,...$options]])`	Named Parameters: - `withHeaders: bool (false)` - `delay: ms (0)` - `debug: bool (false)` - `withTracking: NULL \| bool (Null)`	- `Iterable\|Collection\|stdClass` - `Throwable: RequestException \| Exception`	- `save` - `save` - `origin` - `snapshot` - `revision` - `release` - `directory` - `content`	POST[, GET]

Allow verbose logging (optional for debugging):

> namespace Module\HTTPConnector;
> use Module\HTTPConnector;
 
> HTTPClient::setOptions(isVerbose: true)

Call the static method variant:

> namespace Module\Archival;
> use Module\Archival; 

> Archive::repository('https://github.com/openssl/openssl', withTracking: true)    

    ⋮
    Request Status --> accepted
    Task Status --> pending
    Visit Status -->
    ⋮

        // Final result:

  ]

Whilst archiving, retrieve current status data of the archival request per its date or identifier.
If at the time of retrieval the archival has been finished:
- This method automatically propagates the detected nodeHits.
- This method will show a built list of SwhIDs (keyed: swh_id_list) as well as contextual IDs (keyed contextual_swh_ids).
- Due to potential delays on the server-side, the save_task_status may return succeeded in the response data while snapshot_swhid remains null (has not been timely generated).

`Class static` Method	Method Arguments	Method `$options` (defaults)	Returns	`SWH` Endpoints	`HTTP` Method
`getArchivalStatus($saveRequestDateOrID[,...$options])`	`<int>\|<string> $saveRequestDateOrID` - `<int>: saveID` - `<string>: ISO-formatted Date`	Named Parameters: - `withHeaders: bool (false)` - `delay: ms (0)` - `debug: bool (false)`	- `Iterable\|Collection\|stdClass` - `Throwable: RequestException \| TypeError \|Exception`	- `save` - `origin` - `snapshot` - `revision` - `release` - `directory` - `content`	GET

    ⋮
    "snapshot_swhid" => null,
    ⋮
  ]

Continuously request status data of an archival request till archival has been finished (i.e. save_task_status returns succeeded).

This method tracks the archival progress and automatically propagates the detected nodeHits after successful archival.

This method builds a list of SwhIDs (keyed: swh_id_list) as well as contextual IDs (keyed contextual_swh_ids) in its final output.

Due to potential delays on the server-side, the save_task_status may return succeeded in the response data while snapshot_swhid remains null (has not been timely generated), in which case the tracking continues further.

VIII) MetaData

This class reveals MetaData of revision, release and content nodes. This class is abstract with all its methods set as static, hence no object instantiation is necessary; all methods are accessible throughout as global functions. This class provides access to conveniently deal with these SWH objects based on self-explanatory naming of its methods.
