Julien C (Sep 19 2023 at 12:00): Julien C (Sep 19 2023 at 12:00):Hello Dataverse community,
Is there a way from Native API version 5.10 to retrieve the embargo possible status of a file in a dataset and its "dateAvailable" field please ?
I'm planning to migrate some datasets in an automatic manner, but I don't know how to do that.
The "api/files/{ID}/metadata" endpoint gives only the "restricted" status of a file which is not what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Best regards

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 19 2023 at 12:05):You're interested in "get"?
Julien C (Sep 19 2023 at 12:06):Yes indeed
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 19 2023 at 12:08):Can you please create an issue for this?
Julien C (Sep 19 2023 at 12:10):Hello Philip,
I'm just new around here, can you tell me where I can "create" this "issue" please ?
Thx in advance
Oliver Bertuch (Sep 19 2023 at 12:11):Hi and welcome to the community! :heart: :wave: Here's a link to open an issue: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/new/choose
Julien C (Sep 19 2023 at 12:21):OK thanks I will do that, is there a way to work around in the meantime or an API endpoint maybe still not documented for this particular "GET" request ?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 19 2023 at 12:27):I don't see a workaround. Just those two methods in the datasets API.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 19 2023 at 15:29):https://dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?fileId=6294750 is embargoed. If you curl https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/files/6294750 you can find this:
"embargo": {
"dateAvailable": "2026-05-06",
"reason": "These data are still being used for publication. However, they can be made available upon reasonable request to the corresponding author (tedonzongluc@gmail.com)."
},
@Juan López does that help?
Julien C (Sep 21 2023 at 06:40):Thanks Juan, it helps.
That's what I'm looking for.
On our test server. It says that endpoint doesn't exist. It might have been desactivated. Or not possible to version 5.10.
I have to dig deeper to understand.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 21 2023 at 10:32):Whoops! I meant to @mention you, @Julien C , not Juan. Glad it helps!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 21 2023 at 10:40):And yes, it's interesting. Endpoint doesn't exist at https://dorel.univ-lorraine.fr/api/files/41249 but it does exist at https://dorel.univ-lorraine.fr/api/files/41249/metadata
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 21 2023 at 10:40):Docs on the latter endpoint: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/5.10/api/native-api.html#getting-file-metadata
