IAM Subjects API

IAM Subjects API Reference

Note: This page is primarily intended for developers who will be writing applications that will use DataTrails for provenance. If you are looking for a simple way to test our API you might prefer our Postman collection, the YAML runner or the Developers section of the web UI.
Additional YAML examples can be found in the articles in the Overview section.

IAM Subjects API Examples

Create the bearer_token and store in a file in a secure local directory with 0600 permissions.

IAM Subjects Creation

Define the Subject parameters and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

{
    "display_name": "Some description",
    "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
    "tessera_pub_key": ["key2"]
}

Note: The values for wallet_pub_key and tessera_pub_key are found by decoding the Subject string that is provided by the Tenancy Administrator of the other organization. See the JSON tab here for more detail.

Create the IAM Subject:

curl -v -X POST \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects

The response is:

{
    "identity": "subjects/3f5be24f-fd1b-40e2-af35-ec7c14c74d53",
    "display_name": "Some description",
    "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
    "wallet_address": ["address"],
    "tessera_pub_key": ["key2"]
}

IAM Subjects Retrieval

IAM Subject records in DataTrails are tokenized at creation time and referred to in all API calls and smart contracts throughout the system by a unique identity of the form:

subjects/12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef

If you do not know the Subjects’s identity you can fetch IAM Subject records using other information you do know, such as the Subject’s name.

Fetch all IAM Subjects (v1)

To fetch all IAM Subjects records, simply GET the /subjects resource:

curl -v -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects

Fetch specific IAM Subject by identity (v1)

If you know the unique identity of the IAM Subject record simply GET the resource:

curl -v -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects/6a951b62-0a26-4c22-a886-1082297b063b

Fetch IAM Subjects by Name (v1)

To fetch all IAM subjects with a specific name, GET the /subjects resource and filter on display_name:

curl -g -v -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     "https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects?display_name=Acme"

Each of these calls returns a list of matching IAM Subjects records in the form:

{
    "subjects": [
        {
            "identity": "subjects/6a951b62-0a26-4c22-a886-1082297b063b",
            "display_name": "Some description",
            "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
            "wallet_address": ["address1"],
            "tessera_pub_key": ["key2"]
        },
        {
            "identity": "subjects/12345678-0a26-4c22-a886-1082297b063b",
            "display_name": "Some other description",
            "wallet_pub_key": ["key5"],
            "wallet_address": ["address5"],
            "tessera_pub_key": ["key7"]
        }
    ]
}

IAM Subject Deletion

To delete an IAM Subject, issue the following request:

curl -v -X DELETE \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects/47b58286-ff0f-11e9-8f0b-362b9e155667

The response is {}.

IAM Subject Update

Define the Subject parameters to be changed and store in /path/to/jsonfile:

{
    "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
    "tessera_pub_key": ["key2"]
}

Update the IAM Subject:

curl -v -X PATCH \
    -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
    -H "Content-type: application/json" \
    -d "@/path/to/jsonfile" \
    https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects/47b58286-ff0f-11e9-8f0b-362b9e155667

The response is:

{
    "identity": "subjects/3f5be24f-fd1b-40e2-af35-ec7c14c74d53",
    "display_name": "Some description",
    "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
    "wallet_address": ["address1"],
    "tessera_pub_key": ["key3"]
}

IAM Subject Self Entry

There is an immutable entry in the Subjects API called Self that contains the keys for the hosting organization of the DataTrails Tenant.

This entry cannot be deleted or updated.

This special identity is:

subjects/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Fetch Self IAM Subject by Identity (v1)

curl -v -X GET \
     -H "@$HOME/.datatrails/bearer-token.txt" \
     https://app.datatrails.ai/archivist/iam/v1/subjects/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

The response is:

[
    {
        "identity": "subjects/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
        "display_name": "Some description",
        "wallet_pub_key": ["key1"],
        "wallet_address": ["address1"],
        "tessera_pub_key": ["key3"]
    }
