Project API Methods

Learn more about Project methods.

Projects

Projects are special containers intended for collaboration. Within the context of a project, access permissions are controlled by the users who have ADMINISTER access to the project.

Projects and Containers

Users can create projects through the web user interface or using the API method /project/new. Unless users are creating a project on behalf of an organization, users will be responsible for the storage costs of the data inside the project, as well as any compute time for any jobs run from the project. Projects have various metadata (name, description, tags, properties). The project can also have project-wide boolean flags that place restrictions on how the data can be modified or copied to other projects documented in the Project Data Access Controls section.

In contrast, users cannot create generic data containers directly. Containers are generated automatically for different purposes involved in running an analysis, sharing data, etc. and will always be associated with a project or user/organization that will be responsible for its storage costs.

Project Metadata

Projects can have names, descriptions, properties, and tags. Properties may be automatically set by the website front-end and are used for facilitating user experience.

API method: /project-xxxx/updateSponsorship

Specification

This method modifies various forms of sponsorship in the project. It can be used to set or modify data egress sponsorship, or used to set or unset third-party data storage sponsorship in the project.

When data egress sponsorship has been set to a specified number of bytes, the billTo of the project may be billed for up to that amount of data transferred outside of the system for that project (i.e. downloaded by a user) . The rate at which the data is billed may vary depending on the IP range of the downloader. If the amount of data egress from this project to outside the system exceeds the number of data egress sponsored bytes the downloader will then incur any remaining and future costs of downloading data from project.

When the project is sponsored for data storage, the billTo of the project is billed for any storage charges for all objects in this project. Any other users or orgs that have copies of any of these data objects in other projects can store them for free until the expiration of the sponsorship period.

When the project is sponsored, adding new data objects to the project (or removing them) causes those objects to be sponsored (unsponsored, respectively) . An object may only be sponsored in one project at a time, and cloning an object into a sponsored project will fail if the object is already sponsored by virtue of its presence in another sponsored project.

If the project is already sponsored, you can call this method again to update the expiration time or to terminate sponsorship.

Inputs

  • sponsoredUntil timestamp or null (optional) Sets the expiration time of data storage sponsorship. Specifying null (or any time in the past) terminates the sponsorship effective immediately.

  • totalSponsoredEgressBytes int (optional) Sets the number of bytes to be sponsored for downloads (data egress) from the DNAnexus Platform to an external IP for this project. Users may download up to the specified number of bytes from the project at no cost to themselves, with the cost being borne by the project's billTo. If the new value is less than the number of bytes already consumed the sponsor only owes charges for downloads that have already completed and its liabilites end effective immediately. Note that setting this value overrides the previous value and does not increment it, so to effectively extend the byte limit this method must be invoked with a value higher than the previous value it was invoked with.

Outputs

  • id string ID of the project.

Errors

  • InvalidInput

    • totalSponsoredEgressBytes must be a non-negative integer.

  • InvalidState

    • A data object in the project has already been third-party sponsored in another project; the data object(s) need to be removed from this project (or from the other project) before they can be third-party sponsored again. When this error is thrown, the error details is of the form `{alreadySponsored: [{id: ..., project: ...}, ...]}` indicating the ID and sponsoring project of each object that was already third-party sponsored.

    • A data object in the project has already been DNAnexus-sponsored.

    • The project is archived.

    • The project has a pending transfer.

  • PermissionDenied

    • If sponsoredUntil is supplied, the billTo of the project needs to have data sponsorship features enabled. Please contact us to enable data storage sponsorship features for your account.

    • ADMINISTER access to the project is required.

    • The user's billTo must match the billTo of the project.

API method: /project-xxxx/setProperties

Specification

Sets properties on the specified project. To remove a property altogether, its value needs to be set to the JSON null (instead of a string) . This call updates the properties of the project by merging any old (previously existing) ones with what is provided in the input, the newer ones taking precedence when the same key appears in the old.

Best practices: to completely "reset" properties (i.e. remove all existing key/value pairs and replace them with some new) , issue a describe call to get the names of all properties, then issue a setProperties request to set the values of those properties to null.

Inputs

  • properties mapping Properties to modify.

    • key Name of property to modify

    • value string or null Either a new string value for the property, or null to unset the property.

Outputs

  • id string ID of the manipulated project (i.e. a string of the form "project-xxxx").

Errors

  • InvalidInput

    • The input is not a hash, properties is missing or is not a hash, or there exists at least one value in properties which is neither a string nor the JSON null.

  • ResourceNotFound

    • The specified project does not exist.

  • PermissionDenied

    • CONTRIBUTE access required for the specified project.

API method: /project-xxxx/describe

  • sponsoredDataUsage number sum of DNAnexus-sponsored and third-party sponsored data usage in GB, excluding dbcluster storage. If the current project is itself third-party sponsored, then objects in that project will be reflected in dataUsage rather than sponsoredDataUsage since the billTo of the project does get billed for them. A short amount of time may elapse between changes to the container and when this number is updated.

  • sponsoredUntil timestamp If present, indicates that the project is sponsored by its billTo until the specified time. This field is only set if the project is currently sponsored, and if set, the specified time is always in the future).

If false, then the minimum number of parts is 0 and the part with the highest index must contain at least 1 byte. Note that all parts other than the part with the highest index must still have minimum size given by minimumPartSize. If true, then the client can upload a 0-byte file by invoking /file-xxxx/upload once with a part of size 0. If false, then the client can upload a 0-byte file by not invoking /file-xxxx/upload at all.

    • maximumNumParts int the maximum number of parts that may be uploaded (also equal to the largest permissible part index).
