Adding/Editing Galleys via REST API in OJS 3.5

Software Support

Describe the issue or problem

I’m currently trying to publish an article via REST API only.

What works:

  1. Creating a new submission
  2. Add a publication to the submission
  3. Add an author to the publication
  4. Add an initial file which appears in the workflow
  5. Send the submission in the workflow
  6. Move the submission up in the workflow
  7. Move the submission up in the workflow, again
  8. Publish the submission

The published submission has no galley, and thus, users can’t see the file. The API docu for OJS 3.4 does not mention a way to add a galley to a publication, and after trying to add a file directly to the publication, I can’t get it seem to work. Am I missing something, or is creating galleys via the API not possible?

Steps I took leading up to the issue
Looking for ways to create a new galley object in a publication.

What application are you using?
Open Journal Systems 3.5.0.4

Hi @cpeters,

Someone a bit more familiar with the REST API may need to weign in further, but I suspect that capability doesn’t yet exist in OJS: Adding/Editing Galleys via REST API in OJS 3.5 (for OPS, but would likely apply to OJS as well).

Hi @cpeters,

No, it is not currently possible to create a galley only through the API. Our API does not have full coverage of all the functionality that is present in OJS, but we are interested in hearing more about what aspects of the API users would like to see expanded.

There is already a post about this on the feature request side of the forum, so you could add any additional thought to that and/or upvote it.
