Step 7: Visit code repo and capture last snapshot
Context
Receiving a save request and saving the code (i.e. creating a save task).
The trigger: save code task received by OA.
End result: Saved repo in SWH.
Action
Once the save request has been accepted (e.g. origin URL comes from a known
code hosting provider), it creates a saving task which status can be checked
via an API GET request to the URL returned within the previous save request
response object request_url property or to
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/1/origin/save/[request_id]/ where
path parameter request_id can also be found in the previous save request
response object id property.
Edge cases
- Acceptance and task creation depends on the provided origin URL; returns
400or403if an invalid (e.g. missing) or blacklisted URL has been provided.
Check property save_request_status, which can be accepted, rejected or
pending (pending needs manual check) and notes to get more information if
rejected.
404: no save request found.
