Deleting an entry

Using the administrator interface

Using the API

Deleting an entry (of any type except external resource) from a catalog only requires knowing the unique identifier of the entry in the catalog. The entry can then be deleted using NADAR (for R users) or PyNADA (for Python users), after providing an API authentication key and the URL of the catalog, as follows (assuming the entry to be deleted has an ID = ABC123):

In R:

library(nadar)
    
my_keys <- read.csv("C:/CONFIDENTIAL/my_keys.csv", header=F, stringsAsFactors=F)
set_api_key(my_keys[5,1])  # Assuming the key is in cell A5
set_api_url("http://nada-demo.ihsn.org/index.php/api/") 

catalog_delete(idno = "ABC123")

In Python:

import pynada as nada

my_keys = pd.read_csv("confidential/my_keys.csv", header=None)
nada.set_api_key(my_keys.iat[4, 0])  # Assuming the key is in cell A5
nada.set_api_url('http://nada-demo.ihsn.org/index.php/api/')
           
nada.catalog_delete(idno = "ABC123")

Editing an entry

Risk of discrepancy

Using the administrator interface

Using the API

Powerful automation options. Can programmatically change any specific piece of metadata, for one or multiple entries.

See the NADAR or PyNADA documentation.
