Sample Profile for specific IGSN

• The end point is https://app.geosamples.org/sample/igsn
• The old end point is https://app.geosamples.org/webservices/display.php
• Usage: https://app.geosamples.org/sample/igsn/XXXXXXXXX
  • https://app.geosamples.org/webservices/display.php?igsn=XXXXXXXXX
  • XXXXXXXX is the IGSN of a sample. e.g., GEE0000O4, ODP000002
• The service will retrieve most metadata of the sample. It only accepts GET requests from the client program. User name and password are not required. If they are provided, none public accessible sample metadata will be returned also.

GET API

Request Headers

• Accept: text/xml, application/xml, application/json, text/json

  Request Body

igsn={igsn} username={yourusername} (optional) password={yourpassword} (optional)

Response Body

HTTP status codes:

• 400 Bad Request - IGSN is not valid.
• 403 Forbidden - IGSN is either deactived or has no public metadata.
• 404 Not Found - IGSN not found.
• 200 Successful. It will return metadata related to the IGSN.

Output format when request is successful ( status code = 200 )

• XML Format:

(NEW) The returned xml file uses the following xml schema. https://app.geosamples.org/4.0/downloadSample.xsd

Notes: To be backward compatible, the old end point ( ``` https://app.geosamples.org/webservices/display.php?igsn=XXXXXXXXX ``` )
will return the old XML format if the user executes from the browser or sends ACCEPT header with 'text/html'. The old
format is as follows.  XXXXXXXXXXXXmyname ....  The
old end point was REST-Type so it did not follow HTTP protocol standards. If your client program used any HTTP
standards such as relying on HTTP status code, you need to adjust them according to the current documentation.
