API Documentation¶
RESTful API¶
Clients access Girder servers uniformly via its RESTful web API. By providing a single, stable, consistent web API, it is possible to write multiple interchangeable clients using different technologies.
When a Girder instance is deployed, it typically also serves a page
that uses Swagger to document
all available RESTful endpoints in the web API and also provide an easy way
for users to execute those endpoints with parameters of their choosing. In
this way, the Swagger page is just the simplest and lightest client application
for Girder. This page is served out of the path /api
under the root path of
your Girder instance.
Models¶
In Girder, the model layer is responsible for actually interacting with the underlying database. Model classes are where the documents representing resources are actually saved, retrieved, and deleted from the DBMS. Validation of the resource documents is also done in the model layer, and is invoked each time a document is about to be saved.
Typically, there is a model class for each resource type in the system. These
models are loaded as singletons for efficiency, but you should use them like
normal objects. For example, to use the list
method of the Group model:
from girder.models.group import Group
groups = Group().list(user=self.getCurrentUser())
All models that require the standard access control semantics should extend the AccessControlledModel class. Otherwise, they should extend the Model class.
All model classes must have an initialize
method in which they declare
the name of their corresponding Mongo collection, as well as any collection
indexes they require. For example, to make a model whose documents live in a
collection called cat_collection
and ensure that the name
key is indexed
on that collection, you would use the following initialize
method:
from girder.models.model_base import Model
class Cat(Model):
def initialize(self):
self.name = 'cat_collection'
self.ensureIndex('name')
Model Helper Functions¶
-
girder.models.
getDbConfig
()[source]¶ Get the database configuration values from the cherrypy config.
-
girder.models.
getDbConnection
(uri=None, replicaSet=None, autoRetry=True, quiet=False, **kwargs)[source]¶ Get a MongoClient object that is connected to the configured database. We lazy-instantiate a module-level singleton, the MongoClient objects manage their own connection pools internally. Any extra kwargs you pass to this method will be passed through to the MongoClient.
Parameters: - uri – if specified, connect to this mongo db rather than the one in the config.
- replicaSet – if uri is specified, use this replica set.
- autoRetry (bool) – if this connection should automatically retry operations in the event of an AutoReconnect exception. If you’re testing the connection, set this to False. If disabled, this also will not cache the mongo client, so make sure to only disable if you’re testing a connection.
- quiet (bool) – if true, don’t logprint warnings and success.
Model Base¶
-
class
girder.models.model_base.
AccessControlledModel
[source]¶ Any model that has access control requirements should inherit from this class. It enforces permission checking in the load() method and provides convenient methods for testing and requiring user permissions. It also provides methods for setting access control policies on the resource.
-
copyAccessPolicies
(src, dest, save=False)[source]¶ Copies the set of access control policies from one document to another.
Parameters: - src (dict) – The source document to copy policies from.
- dest (dict) – The destination document to copy policies onto.
- save (bool) – Whether to save the destination document after copying.
Returns: The modified destination document.
-
filter
(doc, user, additionalKeys=None)[source]¶ Filter this model for the given user according to the user’s access level. Also adds the special _accessLevel field to the document to indicate the user’s highest access level. This filters a single document that the user has at least read access to. For filtering a set of documents, see filterResultsByPermission().
Parameters: - doc (dict or None) – The document of this model type to be filtered.
- user (dict or None) – The current user for whom we are filtering.
- additionalKeys (list, tuple, or None) – Any additional keys that should be included in the document for this call only.

(message, extra=None)[source]¶ Represents denial of access to a resource.
-
exception
girder.models.model_base.
GirderException
(message, identifier=None)[source]¶ Represents a general exception that might occur in regular use. From the user perspective, these are failures, but not catastrophic ones. An identifier can be passed, which allows receivers to check the exception without relying on the text of the message. It is recommended that identifiers are a dot-separated string consisting of the originating python module and a distinct error. For example, ‘girder.model.assetstore.no-current-assetstore’.
-
class
girder.models.model_base.
Model
[source]¶ Model base class. Models are responsible for abstracting away the persistence layer. Each collection in the database should have its own model. Methods that deal with database interaction belong in the model layer.
-
ensureIndex
(index)[source]¶ Like ensureIndices, but declares just a single index rather than a list of them.
-
ensureIndices
(indices)[source]¶ Subclasses should call this with a list of strings representing fields that should be indexed in the database if there are any. Otherwise, it is not necessary to call this method. Elements of the list may also be a list or tuple, where the second element is a dictionary that will be passed as kwargs to the pymongo create_index call.
-
ensureTextIndex
(index, language='english')[source]¶ Call this during initialize() of the subclass if you want your model to have a full-text searchable index. Each collection may have zero or one full-text index.
Parameters: language (str) – The default_language value for the text index, which is used for stemming and stop words. If the text index should not use stemming and stop words, set this param to ‘none’.
-
exposeFields
(level, fields)[source]¶ Expose model fields to users with the given access level. Subclasses should call this in their initialize method to declare what fields should be exposed to what access levels if they are using the default filter implementation in this class. Since filtered fields are sets, this method is idempotent.
Parameters: - level (AccessType) – The required access level for the field.
- fields (str, list, or tuple) – A field or list of fields to expose for that level.
-
filter
(doc, user=None, additionalKeys=None)[source]¶ Filter this model for the given user. This is a default implementation that assumes this model has no notion of access control, and simply allows all keys under READ access level, and conditionally allows any keys assigned to SITE_ADMIN level.
Parameters: - doc (dict or None) – The document of this model type to be filtered.
- user (dict or None) – The current user for whom we are filtering.
- additionalKeys (list, tuple, set, or None) – Any additional keys that should be included in the document for this call only.
Returns: The filtered document (dict).
-
filterDocument
(doc, allow=None)[source]¶ This method will filter the given document to make it suitable to output to the user.
Parameters: - doc (dict) – The document to filter.

- timeout (int) – Cursor timeout in ms. Default is no timeout.
- fields (str, list of strings or tuple of strings for fields to be included from the document, or dict for an inclusion or exclusion projection.) – A mask for filtering result documents by key, or None to return the full document, passed to MongoDB find() as the projection param.
- sort (List of (key, order) tuples.) – The sort order.
Returns: A pymongo database cursor.
-
findOne
(query=None, fields=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Search the collection by a set of parameters. Passes any kwargs through to the underlying pymongo.collection.find_one function.
Parameters: - query (dict) – The search query (see general MongoDB docs for “find()”)
- fields (str, list of strings or tuple of strings for fields to be included from the document, or dict for an inclusion or exclusion projection.) – A mask for filtering result documents by key, or None to return the full document, passed to MongoDB find() as the projection param.
- sort (List of (key, order) tuples.) – The sort order.
Returns: the first object that was found, or None if none found.
-
hideFields
(level, fields)[source]¶ Hide a field, i.e. make sure it is not exposed via the default filtering method. Since the filter uses a white list, it is only ever necessary to call this for fields that were added previously with exposeFields().
Parameters: - level (AccessType) – The access level to remove the fields from.
- fields (str, list, or tuple) – The field or fields to remove from the white list.
-
increment
(query, field, amount, **kwargs)[source]¶ This is a specialization of the update method that atomically increments a field by a given amount. Additional kwargs are passed directly through to update.
Parameters: - query (dict) – The search query for documents to update, see general MongoDB docs for “find()”
- field (str) – The name of the field in the document to increment.
- amount (int or float) – The amount to increment the field by.
-
initialize
()[source]¶ Subclasses should override this and set the name of the collection as self.name. Also, they should set any indexed fields that they require.
-
load

- triggerEvents – Whether to trigger events for validate and pre- and post-save hooks.
-
subtreeCount
(doc)[source]¶ Return the size of the subtree rooted at the given document. In general, if this contains items or folders, it will be the count of the items and folders in all containers. If it does not, it will be 1. This returns the absolute size of the subtree, it does not filter by permissions.
Parameters: doc (dict) – The root of the subtree.

textSearch
(query, offset=0, limit=0, sort=None, fields=None, filters=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Perform a full-text search against the text index for this collection.

Returns: A pymongo cursor. It is left to the caller to build the results from the cursor.
-
update
(query, update, multi=True)[source]¶ This method should be used for updating multiple documents in the collection. This is useful for things like removing all references in this collection to a document that is being deleted from another collection.
For updating a single document, use the save() model method instead.
Parameters: - query (dict) – The search query for documents to update, see general MongoDB docs for “find()”
- update (dict) – The update specifier.
- multi (bool) – Whether to update a single document, or all matching documents.
Returns: A pymongo UpdateResult object.

- days (float or int) – The lifespan of the session in days. If not passed, uses the database setting for cookie lifetime.
- scope (str or list of str) – Scope or list of scopes this token applies to. By default, will create a user authentication token.

Returns: The token document that was created.
-
hasScope
(token, scope)[source]¶ Test whether the given token has the given set of scopes. Use this rather than comparing manually, since this method is backward compatible with tokens that do not contain a scope field.
Parameters: - token (dict) – The token object.
- scope (str or list of str) – A scope or set of scopes that will be tested as a subset of the given token’s allowed scopes.
-
Group¶
-
class
girder.models.group.
Group
[source]¶ Groups are simply groups of users. The primary use of grouping users is to simplify access control for resources in the system, but they can be used for other purposes that require groupings of users as well.
Group membership is stored in the database on the user document only; there is no “users” field in this model. This is to optimize for the most common use case for querying membership, which involves checking access control policies, which is always done relative to a specific user. The task of querying all members within a group is much less common and typically only performed on a single group at a time, so doing a find on the indexed group list in the user collection is sufficiently fast.
Users with READ access on the group can see the group and its members. Users with WRITE access on the group can add and remove members and change the name or description. Users with ADMIN access can promote group members to grant them WRITE or ADMIN access, and can also delete the entire group.
This model uses a custom implementation of the access control methods, because it uses only a subset of its capabilities and provides a more optimized implementation for that subset. Specifically: read access is implied by membership in the group or having an invitation to join the group, so we don’t store read access in the access document as normal. Another constraint is that write and admin access on the group can only be granted to members of the group. Also, group permissions are not allowed on groups for the sake of simplicity.
-
addUser
(group, user, level=0)[source]¶ Add the user to the group. Records membership in the group in the user document, and also grants the specified access level on the group itself to the user. Any group member has at least read access on the group. If the user already belongs to the group, this method can be used to change their access level within it.
-
createGroup
(name, creator, description='', public=True)[source]¶ Create a new group. The creator will be given admin access to it.
Parameters: - name (str) – The name of the folder.
- description (str) – Description for the folder.
- public (bool) – Whether the group is publicly visible.
- creator (dict) – User document representing the creator of the group.
Returns: The group document that was created.
-
getAccessLevel
(doc, user)[source]¶ Return the maximum access level for a given user on the group.
Parameters: - doc – The group to check access on.
- user – The user to get the access level for.

Parameters: - doc (dict) – The group to check permission on.
- user (dict) – The user to check against.
- level (AccessType) – The access level.
Returns: Whether the access is granted.
-
inviteUser
(group, user, level=0)[source]¶ Invite a user to join the group. Inviting them automatically grants the user read access to the group so that they can see it. Once they accept the invitation, they will be given the specified level of access.
If the user has requested an invitation to this group, calling this will accept their request and add them to the group at the access level specified.
-
joinGroup
(group, user)[source]¶ This method either accepts an invitation to join a group, or if the given user has not been invited to the group, this will create an invitation request that moderators and admins may grant or deny later.

Parameters: group (dict) – The group document to delete.
-
removeUser

, downloads to the end of the file. - contentDisposition (str or None) – Content-Disposition response header disposition-type value.
-
isOrphan
(file)[source]¶ Returns True if this file is orphaned (its item or attached entity is missing).
Parameters: file (dict) – The file to check.
-
open
(file)[source]¶ Use this to expose a Girder file as a python file-like object. At the moment, this is a read-only interface, the equivalent of opening a system file with
'rb'
mode. This can also be used as a context manager, e.g.:>>> with File().open(file) as fh: >>> while True: >>> chunk = fh.read(CHUNK_LEN) >>> if not chunk: >>> break
Using it this way will automatically close the file handle for you when the
with
block is left.Parameters: file (dict) – A Girder file document. Returns: A file-like object containing the bytes of the file. Return type: girder.utility.abstract_assetstore_adapter.FileHandle
-
propagateSizeChange
(item, sizeIncrement, updateItemSize=True)[source]¶ Propagates a file size change (or file creation) to the necessary parents in the hierarchy. Internally, this records subtree size in the item, the parent folder, and the root node under which the item lives. Should be called anytime a new file is added, a file is deleted, or a file size changes.
Parameters: - item (dict) – The parent item of the file.
- sizeIncrement (int) – The change in size to propagate.
- updateItemSize – Whether the item size should be updated. Set to False if you plan to delete the item immediately and don’t care to update its size.
-
remove
(file, updateItemSize=True, **kwargs)[source]¶ Use the appropriate assetstore adapter for whatever assetstore the file is stored in, and call deleteFile on it, then delete the file record from the database.
Parameters: - file – The file document to remove.
- updateItemSize – Whether to update the item size. Only set this to False if you plan to delete the item and do not care about updating its size.
-
Upload¶
-
class
girder.models.upload.
Upload
[source]¶ This model stores temporary records for uploads that have been approved but are not yet complete, so that they can be uploaded in chunks of arbitrary size. The chunks must be uploaded in order.
-
cancelUpload
(upload)[source]¶ Discard an upload that is in progress. This asks the assetstore to discard the data, then removes the item from the upload database.
Parameters: upload (dict) – The upload document to remove.
-
createUpload
(user, name, parentType, parent, size, mimeType=None, reference=None, assetstore=None, attachParent=False, save=True)[source]¶ Creates a new upload record, and creates its temporary file that the chunks will be written into. Chunks should then be sent in order using the _id of the upload document generated by this method.
Parameters: - user (dict) – The user performing the upload.
- name (str) – The name of the file being uploaded.
- parentType (str ('folder' or 'item')) – The type of the parent being uploaded into.
- parent (dict.) – The document representing the parent.
- size (int) – Total size in bytes of the whole file.
- mimeType (str) – The mimeType of the file.
- reference (str) – An optional reference string that will be sent to the data.process event.
- assetstore – An optional assetstore to use to store the file. If unspecified, the current assetstore is used.
- attachParent (boolean) – if True, instead of creating an item within the parent or giving the file an itemId, set itemId to None and set attachedToType and attachedToId instead (using the values passed in parentType and parent). This is intended for files that shouldn’t appear as direct children of the parent, but are still associated with it.
- save (boolean) – if True, save the document after it is created.
Returns: The upload document that was created.
-
createUploadToFile
(file, user, size, reference=None, assetstore=None)[source]¶ Creates a new upload record into a file that already exists. This should be used when updating the contents of a file. Deletes any previous file content from the assetstore it was in. This will upload into the current assetstore rather than assetstore the file was previously contained in.
Parameters: - file – The file record to update.
- user – The user performing this upload.
- size – The size of the new file contents.
- reference (str) – An optional reference string that will be sent to the data.process event.
- assetstore – An optional assetstore to use to store the file. If unspecified, the current assetstore is used.
-
finalizeUpload
(upload, assetstore=None)[source]¶ This should only be called manually in the case of creating an empty file, i.e. one that has no chunks.
Parameters: - upload (dict) – The upload document.
- assetstore (dict) – If known, the containing assetstore for the upload.
Returns: The file object that was created.
-
getTargetAssetstore
(modelType, resource, assetstore=None)[source]¶ Get the assetstore for a particular target resource, i.e. where new data within the resource should be stored. In Girder core, this is always just the current assetstore, but plugins may override this behavior to allow for more granular assetstore selection.
Parameters: - modelType – the type of the resource that will be stored.
- resource – the resource to be stored.
- assetstore – if specified, the preferred assetstore where the resource should be located. This may be overridden.
Returns: the selected assetstore.
-
handleChunk
(upload, chunk, filter=False, user=None)[source]¶ When a chunk is uploaded, this should be called to process the chunk. If this is the final chunk of the upload, this method will finalize the upload automatically.
This method will return EITHER an upload or a file document. If this is the final chunk of the upload, the upload is finalized and the created file document is returned. Otherwise, it returns the upload document with the relevant fields modified.
Parameters: - upload (dict) – The upload document to update.
- chunk (file) – The file object representing the chunk that was uploaded.
- filter (bool) – Whether the model should be filtered. Only affects behavior when returning a file model, not the upload model.
- user (dict or None) – The current user. Only affects behavior if filter=True.
-
list
(limit=0, offset=0, sort=None, filters=None)[source]¶ Search for uploads or simply list all visible uploads.
Parameters: - limit – Result set size limit.
- offset – Offset into the results.
- sort – The sort direction.
- filters – if not None, a dictionary that can contain ids that must match the uploads, plus an minimumAge value.
-
moveFileToAssetstore
(file, user, assetstore, progress=<girder.utility.progress.ProgressContext object>)[source]¶ Move a file from whatever assetstore it is located in to a different assetstore. This is done by downloading and re-uploading the file.
Parameters: - file – the file to move.
- user – the user that is authorizing the move.
- assetstore – the destination assetstore.
- progress – optional progress context.
Returns: the original file if it is not moved, or the newly ‘uploaded’ file if it is.
-
requestOffset
(upload)[source]¶ Requests the offset that should be used to resume uploading. This makes the request from the assetstore adapter.
-
untrackedUploads
(action='list', assetstoreId=None)[source]¶ List or discard any uploads that an assetstore knows about but that our database doesn’t have in it.
Parameters: - action (str) – ‘delete’ to discard the untracked uploads, anything else to just return with a list of them.
- assetstoreId (str) – if present, only include untracked items from the specified assetstore.
Returns: a list of items that were removed or could be removed.
-
uploadFromFile
(obj, size, name, parentType=None, parent=None, user=None, mimeType=None, reference=None, assetstore=None, attachParent=False)[source]¶ This method wraps the entire upload process into a single function to facilitate “internal” uploads from a file-like object. Example:
size = os.path.getsize(filename) with open(filename, 'rb') as f: Upload().uploadFromFile(f, size, filename, 'item', parentItem, user)
Parameters: - obj (file-like) – The object representing the content to upload.
- size – The total size of
- name (str) – The name of the file to create.
- parentType (str) – The type of the parent: “folder” or “item”.
- parent (dict) – The parent (item or folder) to upload into.
- user (dict) – The user who is creating the file.
- mimeType (str) – MIME type of the file.
- reference (str) – An optional reference string that will be sent to the data.process event.
- assetstore – An optional assetstore to use to store the file. If unspecified, the current assetstore is used.
- attachParent – if True, instead of creating an item within the parent or giving the file an itemId, set itemId to None and set attachedToType and attachedToId instead (using the values passed in parentType and parent). This is intended for files that shouldn’t appear as direct children of the parent, but are still associated with it.
-
Events¶
This module contains the Girder events framework. It maintains a global mapping of events to listeners, and contains utilities for callers to handle or trigger events identified by a name.
Listeners should bind to events by calling:
girder.events.bind('event.name', 'my.handler', handlerFunction)
And events should be fired in one of two ways; if the event should be handled synchronously, fire it with:
girder.events.trigger('event.name', info)
And if the event should be handled asynchronously, use:
girder.events.daemon.trigger('event.name', info, callback)
For obvious reasons, the asynchronous method does not return a value to the caller. Instead, the caller may optionally pass the callback argument as a function to be called when the task is finished. That callback function will receive the Event object as its only argument.
-
class
girder.events.
AsyncEventsThread
[source]¶ This class is used to execute the pipeline for events asynchronously. This should not be invoked directly by callers; instead, they should use girder.events.daemon.trigger().
-
run
()[source]¶ Loops over all queued events. If the queue is empty, this thread gets put to sleep until someone calls trigger() on it with a new event to dispatch.
-
stop
()[source]¶ Gracefully stops this thread. Will finish the currently processing event before stopping.
-
trigger
(eventName=None, info=None, callback=None)[source]¶ Adds a new event on the queue to trigger asynchronously.
Parameters: - eventName – The event name to pass to the girder.events.trigger
- info – The info object to pass to girder.events.trigger
- callback – Optional callable to be called upon completion of all bound event handlers. It takes one argument, which is the event object itself.
-
-
class
girder.events.
Event
(name, info, async=False)[source]¶ An Event object is created when an event is triggered. It is passed to each of the listeners of the event, which have a chance to add information to the event, and also optionally stop the event from being further propagated to other listeners, and also optionally instruct the caller that it should not execute its default behavior.
-
addResponse
(response)[source]¶ Listeners that wish to return data back to the caller who triggered this event should call this to append their own response to the event.
Parameters: response – The response value, which can be any type.
-
preventDefault
()[source]¶ This can be used to instruct the triggerer of the event that the default behavior it would normally perform should not be performed. The semantics of this action are specific to the context of the event being handled, but a common use of this method is for a plugin to provide an alternate behavior that will replace the normal way the event is handled by the core system.
-
-
class
girder.events.
ForegroundEventsDaemon
[source]¶ This is the implementation used for
girder.events.daemon
if the config file chooses to disable using the background thread for the daemon. It executes all bound handlers in the current thread, and provides no-op start() and stop() implementations to remain compatible with the API of AsyncEventsThread.
-
girder.events.
bind
(eventName, handlerName, handler)[source]¶ Bind a listener (handler) to the event identified by eventName. It is convention that plugins will use their own name as the handlerName, so that the trigger() caller can see which plugin(s) responded to the event.
Parameters: - eventName (str) – The name that identifies the event.
- handlerName (str) – The name that identifies the handler calling bind().
- handler (function) – The function that will be called when the event is fired. It must accept a single argument, which is the Event that was created by trigger(). This function should not return a value; any data that it needs to pass back to the triggerer should be passed via the addResponse() method of the Event.
-
girder.events.
bound
(*args, **kwds)[source]¶ A context manager to temporarily bind an event handler within its scope.
Parameters are the same as those to
girder.events.bind()
.
-
girder.events.
trigger
(eventName, info=None, pre=None, async=False, daemon=False)[source]¶ Fire an event with the given name. All listeners bound on that name will be called until they are exhausted or one of the handlers calls the stopPropagation() method on the event.
Parameters: - eventName (str) – The name that identifies the event.
- info – The info argument to pass to the handler function. The type of this argument is opaque, and can be anything.
- pre (function or None) – A function that will be executed prior to the handler being executed. It will receive a dict with a “handler” key, (the function), “info” key (the info arg to this function), and “eventName” and “handlerName” values.
- async (bool) – Whether this event is executing on the background thread (True) or on the request thread (False).
- daemon (bool) – Whether this was triggered via
girder.events.daemon
.
Notification¶
-
class
girder.models.notification.
Notification
[source]¶ This model is used to represent a notification that should be streamed to a specific user in some way. Each notification contains a type field indicating what kind of notification it is, a userId field indicating which user the notification should be sent to, a data field representing the payload of the notification, a time field indicating the time at which the event happened, and an optional expires field indicating at what time the notification should be deleted from the database.
-
createNotification
(type, data, user, expires=None, token=None)[source]¶ Create a generic notification.
Parameters: - type (str) – The notification type.
- data – The notification payload.
- user (dict) – User to send the notification to.
- expires (datetime.datetime) – Expiration date (for transient notifications).
- token (dict) – Set this if the notification should correspond to a token instead of a user.
-
get
(user, since=None, token=None)[source]¶ Get outstanding notifications for the given user.
Parameters: - user – The user requesting updates. None to use the token instead.
- since (datetime) – Limit results to entities that have been updated since a certain timestamp.
- token – if the user is None, the token requesting updated.
-
initProgress
(user, title, total=0, state='active', current=0, message='', token=None, estimateTime=True, resource=None, resourceName=None)[source]¶ Create a “progress” type notification that can be updated anytime there is progress on some task. Progress records that are not updated for more than one hour will be deleted. The “time” field of a progress record indicates the time the task was started.
Parameters: - user – the user associated with this notification. If this is None, a session token must be specified.
- title (str) – The title of the task. This should not change over the course of the task. (e.g. ‘Deleting folder “foo”’)
- total (int, long, or float) – Some numeric value representing the total task length. By convention, setting this <= 0 means progress on this task is indeterminate.
- state (ProgressState enum value.) – Represents the state of the underlying task execution.
- current (int, long, or float) – Some numeric value representing the current progress of the task (relative to total).
- message (str) – Message corresponding to the current state of the task.
- token – if the user is None, associate this notification with the specified session token.
- estimateTime – if True, generate an estimate of the total time the task will take, if possible. If False, never generate a time estimate.
- resource – a partial or complete resource that the notification is associated with. This must at a minimum include the id of the resource.
- resourceName – the type of resource the notification is associated with.
-
updateProgress
(record, save=True, **kwargs)[source]¶ Update an existing progress record.
Parameters: - record (dict) – The existing progress record to update.
- total (int, long, or float) – Some numeric value representing the total task length. By convention, setting this <= 0 means progress on this task is indeterminate. Generally this shouldn’t change except in cases where progress on a task switches between indeterminate and determinate state.
- state (ProgressState enum value.) – Represents the state of the underlying task execution.
- current (int, long, or float) – Some numeric value representing the current progress of the task (relative to total).
- increment (int, long, or float) – Amount to increment the progress by. Don’t pass both current and increment together, as that behavior is undefined.
- message (str) – Message corresponding to the current state of the task.
- expires (datetime) – Set a custom (UTC) expiration time on the record. Default is one hour from the current time.
- save (bool) – Whether to save the record to the database.
-
Python API for RESTful web API¶
Base Classes and Helpers¶
-
class
girder.api.describe.
Description
(summary)[source]¶ This class provides convenient chainable semantics to allow api route handlers to describe themselves to the documentation. A route handler function can apply the
girder.api.describe.describeRoute
decorator to itself (called with an instance of this class) in order to describe itself.-
errorResponse
(reason='A parameter was invalid.', code=400)[source]¶ This helper will build an errorResponse declaration for you. Many endpoints will be able to use the default parameter values for one of their responses.
Parameters: - reason (str, list, or tuple) – The reason or list of reasons why the error occurred.
- code (int) – HTTP status code.
-
jsonParam
(name, description, paramType='query', dataType='string', required=True, default=None, requireObject=False, requireArray=False, schema=None)[source]¶ Specifies a parameter that should be processed as JSON.
Parameters: - requireObject (bool) – Whether the value must be a JSON object / Python dict.
- requireArray (bool) – Whether the value must be a JSON array / Python list.
- schema (dict) – A JSON schema that will be used to validate the parameter value. If
this is passed, it overrides any
requireObject
orrequireArray
values that were passed.
-
modelParam
(name, description=None, model=None, destName=None, paramType='path', plugin='_core', level=None, required=True, force=False, exc=True, requiredFlags=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ This should be used in lieu of
param
if the parameter is a model ID and the model should be loaded and passed into the route handler. For example, if you have a route likeGET /item/:id
, you could do:>>> from girder.models.item import Item >>> modelParam('id', model=Item, level=AccessType.READ)
Which would cause the
id
parameter in the path to be mapped to an item model parameter nameditem
, and ensure that the calling user has at leastREAD
access on that item. For parameters passed in the query string or form data, for example a request likePOST /item?folderId=...
, you must specify theparamType
.>>> modelParam('folderId', 'The ID of the parent folder.', model=Folder, ... level=AccessType.WRITE, paramType='query')
Note that in the above example,
model
is omitted; in this case, the model is inferred to be'folder'
from the parameter name'folderId'
.Parameters: - name (str) – The name passed in via the request, e.g. ‘id’.
- description (str) – The description of the parameter. If not passed, defaults to “The ID of the <model>.”
- destName (str) – The kwarg name after model loading, e.g. ‘folder’. Defaults to the value of the model parameter.
- paramType – how is the parameter sent. One of ‘query’, ‘path’, ‘body’, ‘header’, or ‘formData’.
- model (class or str) – The model class to use for loading, or a name, e.g. ‘folder’. If not passed, defaults to stripping the last two characters from the name, such that e.g. ‘folderId’ would make the model become ‘folder’.
- plugin (str) – Plugin name, if loading a plugin model. Only used when the
model
param is a string rather than a class. - level (AccessType) – Access level, if this is an access controlled model.
- required (bool) – Whether this parameter is required.
- force (bool) – Force loading of the model (skip access check).
- exc (bool) – Whether an exception should be raised for a nonexistent resource.
- requiredFlags (str or list/set/tuple of str or None) – Access flags that are required on the object being loaded.
-
pagingParams
(defaultSort, defaultSortDir=1, defaultLimit=50)[source]¶ Adds the limit, offset, sort, and sortdir parameter documentation to this route handler.
Parameters: - defaultSort (str) – The default field used to sort the result set.
- defaultSortDir (int) – Sort order: -1 or 1 (desc or asc)
- defaultLimit (int) – The default page size.
-
param
(name, description, paramType='query', dataType='string', required=True, enum=None, default=None, strip=False, lower=False, upper=False)[source]¶ This helper will build a parameter declaration for you. It has the most common options as defaults, so you won’t have to repeat yourself as much when declaring the APIs.
Note that we could expose more parameters from the Parameter Object spec, for example: format, allowEmptyValue, minimum, maximum, pattern, uniqueItems.
Parameters: - name – name of the parameter used in the REST query.
- description – explanation of the parameter.
- paramType – how is the parameter sent. One of ‘query’, ‘path’, ‘body’, ‘header’, or ‘formData’.
- dataType – the data type expected in the parameter. This is one of ‘integer’, ‘long’, ‘float’, ‘double’, ‘string’, ‘byte’, ‘binary’, ‘boolean’, ‘date’, ‘dateTime’, ‘password’, or ‘file’.
- required – True if the request will fail if this parameter is not present, False if the parameter is optional.
- enum (list) – a fixed list of possible values for the field.
- strip (bool) – For string types, set this to True if the string should be stripped of white space.
- lower (bool) – For string types, set this to True if the string should be converted to lowercase.
- upper (bool) – For string types, set this to True if the string should be converted to uppercase.
-
-
class
girder.api.rest.
Resource
[source]¶ All REST resources should inherit from this class, which provides utilities for adding resources/routes to the REST API.
-
boolParam
(key, params, default=None)[source]¶ Coerce a parameter value from a str to a bool.
Parameters: - key (str) – The parameter key to test.
- params (dict) – The request parameters.
- default (bool or None) – The default value if no key is passed.
-
ensureTokenScopes
(scope)[source]¶ Ensure that the token passed to this request is authorized for the designated scope or set of scopes. Raises an AccessException if not.
Parameters: scope (str or list of str) – A scope or set of scopes that is required.
-
getBodyJson
()[source]¶ Bound wrapper for
girder.api.rest.getBodyJson()
.
-
getCurrentToken
()[source]¶ Returns the current valid token object that was passed via the token header or parameter, or None if no valid token was passed.
-
getCurrentUser
(returnToken=False)[source]¶ Returns the currently authenticated user based on the token header or parameter.
Parameters: returnToken (bool) – Whether we should return a tuple that also contains the token. Returns: The user document from the database, or None if the user is not logged in or the token is invalid or expired. If returnToken=True, returns a tuple of (user, token).
-
getPagingParameters
(params, defaultSortField=None, defaultSortDir=1)[source]¶ Pass the URL parameters into this function if the request is for a list of resources that should be paginated. It will return a tuple of the form (limit, offset, sort) whose values should be passed directly into the model methods that are finding the resources. If the client did not pass the parameters, this always uses the same defaults of limit=50, offset=0, sort=’name’, sortdir=SortDir.ASCENDING=1.
Parameters: - params (dict) – The URL query parameters.
- defaultSortField (str or None) – If the client did not pass a ‘sort’ parameter, set this to choose a default sort field. If None, the results will be returned unsorted.
- defaultSortDir (girder.constants.SortDir) – Sort direction.
-
getParamJson
(name, params, default=None)[source]¶ Bound wrapper for
girder.api.rest.getParamJson()
.
-
getRouteHandler
(method, route)[source]¶ Get the handler method for a given method and route.
Parameters: - method (str) – The HTTP method, e.g. ‘GET’, ‘POST’, ‘PUT’
- route (tuple[str]) – The route, as a list of path params relative to the
resource root, exactly as it was passed to the
route
method.
Returns: The handler method for the route.
Return type: Function
Raises: Exception, when no route can be found.
-
handleRoute
(method, path, params)[source]¶ Match the requested path to its corresponding route, and calls the handler for that route with the appropriate kwargs. If no route matches the path requested, throws a RestException.
This method fires two events for each request if a matching route is found. The names of these events are derived from the route matched by the request. As an example, if the user calls GET /api/v1/item/123, the following two events would be fired:
rest.get.item/:id.before
would be fired prior to calling the default API function, and
rest.get.item/:id.after
would be fired after the route handler returns. The query params are passed in the info of the before and after event handlers as event.info[‘params’], and the matched route tokens are passed in as dict items of event.info, so in the previous example event.info would also contain an ‘id’ key with the value of 123. For endpoints with empty sub-routes, the trailing slash is omitted from the event name, e.g.:
rest.post.group.before
Note
You will normally not need to call this method directly, as it is called by the internals of this class during the routing process.
Parameters: - method (str) – The HTTP method of the current request.
- path (tuple[str]) – The path params of the request.
-
removeRoute
(method, route, handler=None, resource=None)[source]¶ Remove a route from the handler and documentation.
Parameters: - method (str) – The HTTP method, e.g. ‘GET’, ‘POST’, ‘PUT’
- route (tuple[str]) – The route, as a list of path params relative to the resource root. Elements of this list starting with ‘:’ are assumed to be wildcards.
- handler – The method called for the route; this is necessary to remove the documentation.
Deprecated since version 2.3.0.
Parameters: resource – the name of the resource at the root of this route.
-
requireAdmin
(user, message=None)[source]¶ Calling this on a user will ensure that they have admin rights. If not, raises an AccessException.
Parameters: - user (dict.) – The user to check admin flag on.
- message (str or None) – The exception message.
Raises: AccessException – If the user is not an administrator.
-
requireParams
(required, provided=None)[source]¶ This method has two modes. In the first mode, this takes two parameters, the first being a required parameter or list of them, and the second the dictionary of parameters that were passed. If the required parameter does not appear in the passed parameters, a ValidationException is raised.
The second mode of operation takes only a single parameter, which is a dict mapping required parameter names to passed in values for those params. If the value is
None
, a ValidationException is raised. This mode works well in conjunction with theautoDescribeRoute
decorator, where the parameters are not all contained in a single dictionary.Parameters: - required (list, tuple, or str) – An iterable of required params, or if just one is required, you can simply pass it as a string.
- provided (dict) – The list of provided parameters.
-
route
(method, route, handler, nodoc=False, resource=None)[source]¶ Define a route for your REST resource.
Parameters: - method (str) – The HTTP method, e.g. ‘GET’, ‘POST’, ‘PUT’, ‘PATCH’
- route (tuple[str]) – The route, as a list of path params relative to the resource root. Elements of this list starting with ‘:’ are assumed to be wildcards.
- handler (function) – The method to be called if the route and method are matched by a request. Wildcards in the route will be expanded and passed as kwargs with the same name as the wildcard identifier.
- nodoc (bool) – If your route intentionally provides no documentation, set this to True to disable the warning on startup.
- resource – The name of the resource at the root of this route. The resource instance (self) can also be passed. This allows the mount path to be looked up. This allows a resource to be mounted at a prefix.
-
-
exception
girder.api.rest.
RestException
(message, code=400, extra=None)[source]¶ Throw a RestException in the case of any sort of incorrect request (i.e. user/client error). Login and permission failures should set a 403 code; almost all other validation errors should use status 400, which is the default.
-
girder.api.rest.
boundHandler
(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶ This decorator allows unbound functions to be conveniently added as route handlers to existing
girder.api.rest.Resource
instances. With no arguments, this uses a shared, genericResource
instance as the context. If you need a specific instance, pass that as thectx
arg, for instance if you need to reference the resource name or any other properties specific to a Resource subclass.Plugins that add new routes to existing API resources are encouraged to use this to gain access to bound convenience methods like
self.model
,self.boolParam
,self.requireParams
, etc.Parameters: - fun (callable) – A REST endpoint.
- ctx (Resource or None) – A Resource instance, to be bound to
fun
.
-
girder.api.rest.
endpoint
(fun)[source]¶ REST HTTP method endpoints should use this decorator. It converts the return value of the underlying method to the appropriate output format and sets the relevant response headers. It also handles RestExceptions, which are 400-level exceptions in the REST endpoints, AccessExceptions resulting from access denial, and also handles any unexpected errors using 500 status and including a useful traceback in those cases.
If you want a streamed response, simply return a generator function from the inner method.
-
girder.api.rest.
ensureTokenScopes
(token, scope)[source]¶ Call this to validate a token scope for endpoints that require tokens other than a user authentication token. Raises an AccessException if the required scopes are not allowed by the given token.
Parameters: - token (dict) – The token object used in the request.
- scope (str or list of str) – The required scope or set of scopes.
-
girder.api.rest.
getApiUrl
(url=None, preferReferer=False)[source]¶ In a request thread, call this to get the path to the root of the REST API. The returned path does not end in a forward slash.
Parameters: - url – URL from which to extract the base URL. If not specified, uses the server root system setting. If that is not specified, uses cherrypy.url()
- preferReferer – if no url is specified, this is true, and this is in a cherrypy request that has a referer header that contains the api string, use that referer as the url.
-
girder.api.rest.
getBodyJson
(allowConstants=False)[source]¶ For requests that are expected to contain a JSON body, this returns the parsed value, or raises a
girder.api.rest.RestException
for invalid JSON.Parameters: allowConstants (bool) – Whether the keywords Infinity, -Infinity, and NaN should be allowed. These keywords are valid JavaScript and will parse to the correct float values, but are not valid in strict JSON.
-
girder.api.rest.
getParamJson
(name, params, default=None)[source]¶ For parameters that are expected to be specified as JSON, use this to parse them, or raises a RestException if parsing fails.
Parameters: - name (str) – The param name.
- params (dict) – The dictionary of parameters.
- default – The default value if no such param was passed.
-
girder.api.rest.
getUrlParts
(url=None)[source]¶ Calls urllib.parse.urlparse on a URL.
Parameters: url (str or None) – A URL, or None to use the current request’s URL. Returns: The URL’s separate components. Return type: urllib.parse.ParseResult Note
This is compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
-
girder.api.rest.
iterBody
(length=65536, strictLength=False)[source]¶ This is a generator that will read the request body a chunk at a time and yield each chunk, abstracting details of the underlying HTTP server. This function works regardless of whether the body was sent with a Content-Length or using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, but the behavior is slightly different in each case.
If Content-Length is provided, the length parameter is used to read the body in chunks up to size length. This will block until end of stream or the specified number of bytes is ready.
If Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used, the length parameter is ignored by default, and the generator yields each chunk that is sent in the request regardless of its length. However, if strictLength is set to True, it will block until length bytes have been read or the end of the request.
Parameters: - length (int) – Max buffer size to read per iteration if the request has a known Content-Length.
- strictLength (bool) – If the request is chunked, set this to True to block
until
length
bytes have been read or end-of-stream.

class
girder.api.rest.
loadmodel
(map=None, model=None, plugin='_core', level=None, force=False, exc=True, requiredFlags=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ This is a decorator that can be used to load a model based on an ID param. For access controlled models, it will check authorization for the current user. The underlying function is called with a modified set of keyword arguments that is transformed by the “map” parameter of this decorator. Any additional kwargs will be passed to the underlying model’s load.
Parameters: - map (dict or None) – Map of incoming parameter name to corresponding model arg name. If None is passed, this will map the parameter named “id” to a kwarg named the same as the “model” parameter.
- model (str) – The model name, e.g. ‘folder’
- plugin (str) – Plugin name, if loading a plugin model.
- level (AccessType) – Access level, if this is an access controlled model.
- force (bool) – Force loading of the model (skip access check).
- exc (bool) – Whether an exception should be raised for a nonexistent resource.
- requiredFlags (str or list/set/tuple of str or None) – Access flags that are required on the object being loaded.

setRawResponse()
in the handler body.
-
girder.api.rest.

Parameters: - filename – the filename to add to the content disposition header.
- disposition – either ‘inline’ or ‘attachment’. None is the same as ‘attachment’. Any other value skips setting the content disposition header.
- setHeader – if False, return the value that would be set to the Content-Disposition header, but do not set it.
Returns: the content-disposition header value.
-
girder.api.rest.
setCurrentUser
(user)[source]¶ Explicitly set the user for the current request thread. This can be used to enable specialized auth behavior on a per-request basis.
Parameters: user (dict or None) – The user to set as the current user of this request.
-
girder.api.rest.
setRawResponse
(val=True)[source]¶ Normally, non-streaming responses go through a serialization process in accordance with the “Accept” request header. Endpoints that wish to return a raw response without using a streaming response should call this, or use its bound version on the
Resource
class, or add therawResponse
decorator on the REST route handler function.Parameters: val (bool) – Whether the return value should be sent raw.

Parameters: file (dict) – The File document about to be deleted.
-
downloadFile
(file, offset=0, headers=True, endByte=None, contentDisposition=None, extraParameters=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ This method is in charge of returning a value to the RESTful endpoint that can be used to download the file. This should either return a generator function that yields the bytes of the file (which will stream the file directly), or modify the response headers and raise a cherrypy.HTTPRedirect.
Parameters: - file (dict) – The file document being downloaded.
- offset (int) – Offset in bytes to start the download at.
- headers (bool) – Flag for whether headers should be sent on the response.
- endByte (int or None) – Final byte to download. If

files. There is no need to set the
assetstoreId
in the filters, since that is done automatically. - checkSize (bool) – Whether to make sure the size of the underlying data matches the size of the file.
- progress (
-
getChunkSize
(chunk)[source]¶ Given a chunk that is either a file-like object or a string, attempt to determine its length. If it is a file-like object, then this relies on being able to use fstat.

Parameters: upload (dict) – The upload document to optionally augment.
-
open
(file)[source]¶ Exposes a Girder file as a python file-like object. At the moment, this is a read-only interface, the equivalent of opening a system file with ‘rb’ mode.
Parameters: file (dict) – A Girder file document. Returns: A file-like object containing the bytes of the file. Return type: FileHandle
-
requestOffset
(upload)[source]¶ Request the offset for resuming an interrupted upload. Default behavior simply returns the ‘received’ field of the upload document. This method exists because in some cases, such as when the server crashes, it’s possible that the received field is not accurate, so adapters may implement this to provide the actual next byte required.
-
setContentHeaders
(file, offset, endByte, contentDisposition=None)[source]¶ Sets the Content-Length, Content-Disposition, Content-Type, and also the Content-Range header if this is a partial download.
Parameters: - file – The file being downloaded.
- offset (int) – The start byte of the download.
- endByte (int) – The end byte of the download (non-inclusive).
- contentDisposition (str or None) – Content-Disposition response header disposition-type value, if None, Content-Disposition will be set to ‘attachment; filename=$filename’.
-

-
untrackedUploads
(knownUploads=(), delete=False)[source]¶ List and optionally discard uploads that are in the assetstore but not in the known list.

Returns: a list of unknown uploads.
-
-
class
girder.utility.abstract_assetstore_adapter.
FileHandle
(file, adapter)[source]¶ This is the base class that is returned for the file-like API into Girder file objects. The
open
method of assetstore implementations is responsible for returning an instance of this class or one of its subclasses. This base class implementation is returned by the abstract assetstore adapter, and does not leverage any details of the assetstore implementations.These file handles are stateful, and therefore not safe for concurrent access. If used by multiple threads, mutexes should be used.
Parameters: - file (dict) – The file object to which this file-like object corresponds.
- adapter (girder.utility.abstract_assetstore_adapter.AbstractAssetstoreAdapter) – The assetstore adapter corresponding to this file.
-
read
(size=None)[source]¶ Read size bytes from the file data.

class
girder.utility.progress.
ProgressContext
(on, interval=0.5, **kwargs)[source]¶ This class is a context manager that can be used to update progress in a way that rate-limits writes to the database and guarantees a flush when the context is exited. This is a no-op if “on” is set to False, which is meant as a convenience for callers. Any additional kwargs passed to this constructor are passed through to the
initProgress
method of the notification model.Parameters: - on (bool) – Whether to record progress.
- interval (int or float) – Minimum time interval at which to write updates to the database, in seconds.
- user (dict) – The user creating this progress.
- title (str) – The title for the task being tracked.
-
update
(force=False, **kwargs)[source]¶ Update the underlying progress record. This will only actually save to the database if at least self.interval seconds have passed since the last time the record was written to the database. Accepts the same kwargs as Notification.updateProgress.
Parameters: force (bool) – Whether we should force the write to the database. Use only in cases where progress may be indeterminate for a long time.
-
girder.utility.progress.
setResponseTimeLimit
(duration=600, onlyExtend=True)[source]¶ If we are currently within a cherrypy response, extend the time limit. By default, cherrypy responses will timeout after 300 seconds, so any activity which can take longer should call this function.
Note that for cherrypy responses that include streaming generator functions, such as downloads, the timeout is only relevant until the first
yield
is reached. As such, long running generator responses do not generally need to call this function.Parameters: - duration – additional duration in seconds to allow for the response.
- onlyExtend – if True, only ever increase the timeout. If False, the new duration always replaces the old one.
This module contains utility methods for parsing girder path strings.

AccessType
[source]¶ Represents the level of access granted to a user or group on an AccessControlledModel. Having a higher access level on a resource also confers all of the privileges of the lower levels.
Semantically, READ access on a resource means that the user can see all the information pertaining to the resource, but cannot modify it.
WRITE access usually means the user can modify aspects of the resource.
ADMIN access confers total control; the user can delete the resource and also manage permissions for other users on it.

element that is part of a Bootstrap
navbar. For example:
<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class=navbar-header>
<a class=navbar-brand href=/examples>Girder</a>
</div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li id=girder-browser>
<a>Dummy</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Then, in a JavaScript file:
$("#girder-browser").girderBrowser({
// Config options here
// .
// .
// .
});
The anchor text “dummy” in the example HTML will appear in the rendered page if the plugin fails to execute for any reason. This is purely a debugging measure - since the plugin empties the target element before it creates the menu, the anchor tag (or any other content) is not required.
