Using the data2paper api to create data papers

Try the data2paper API at demo.data2paper.org

1. Register as a new user in the demo site

2. Authenticate using the api and if successful you will be given a json web token

   POST to https://demo.data2paper.org/api/authenticate
   PARAMS: email and password
   

   If authenticated successfully will receive 200 OK and the body will contain the token

   {
   "auth_token": "some_long_jwt_auth_token_string_returned_on_successful_authentication"
   }
   

   Save the JSON web token to make all future requests with the data2paper API. You would need to get the token again, if you change your password.

3. Add dataset to data2paper

   POST to https://demo.data2paper.org/api/data_paper
   PARAMS: doi and orcid
   Header: Authorization = JWT some_long_jwt_auth_token_string_returned_on_successful_authentication
   

   If the dataset was imported successfully to create a data paper, you should receive a 201 response with location header containing the url of the data paper record created. The body of the response has the metadata associated with the data paper

   Response: 201
   Header: location = http://demo.data2paper.org/concern/data_papers/79407x16z?locale=en
   

Now that you have added the data paper on behalf of the author, the author can login to data2paperusing their ORCID credentials, and view the data paper in the dashboard. Also, the URL of the data paper is in the location header of the response received in step 2.
