  • 1.  How to create an Aspera ATS Api sub-access key

    Posted Mon December 19, 2022 02:34 PM
    Hello,
    I have successfully created an ATS primary access key and need to create a sub-access key.  How do you create sub-access keys programmatically?  In my use case I cannot use the Aspera on Cloud UI. 
    I have a Standard plan Aspera on Cloud subscription.
    Thanks!

    Make a POST to https://ats-host/access_keys/<access_key> where <access_key> is the access key you have previously created. The sub-access key the payload must include the relative storage path where the sub-access key will be rooted.

    Hi @BEN FORSYTH, when I make the request you provided I get the following error:
    {
    "error": {
        "description": "HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed",
        "details": "javax.ws.rs.NotAllowedException: HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed",
        "type": "NotAllowedException"
    }
}​

    The url I'm using is:

    https://ats.aspera.io/pub/v1/access_keys/<access_key> 

    Is the root path you are using https://ats.aspera.io/pub/v1?

    Thanks,
    Tim

    The host would be the actual host where your access_key is stored something like

    ats-aws-us-east-1.aspera.io

    or

    ats-sl-dal.aspera.io


    The ATS API is only used to create the access key - the access key itself is created on the specific server were your storage bucket is located. The sub-access-key functionality uses the Node API on the specific host cluster where your bucket is located to create a new username/password to give access to a sub-folder of the access_key.

    Hi Tim,

    A convenient way to test and use APIs is ascli:

    For example it allows interaction with ATS APIs in AoC (or directly):

    ascli aoc admin ats access_key list

    it allows to list, create, delete , etc... access keys

    as well as browse, transfer, etc..
