Hey Alan, Big caveat first: we don't use ARKs where I work, so I'm flying a little blind here. I enabled ARKs on our testing space just to see if I could replicate your request. Here's what I tried and it returned the correct archival object:
curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" "https://our_api_url/repositories/2/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark[]=www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37;resolve[]=archival_objects"; I added an external ARK URL to the archival object and put www.testarkurl.com/ark:/YLTAD111/51/37 in that field. Are you using something like this or trying to access internal ARKs? If it's internal, I don't have a way to test that, I'm afraid. Though it seems like the following requests are constructed properly: http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111/51/37 http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id[]=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874 (our ref_ids look something like this usually: "ref36_286", that looks like the container_id found in an EAD export) If you're still getting a 404 error, I might also try using the "--url-encode" parameter to see if that helps. Dave Mayo at Harvard pointed me in this direction which works great for the find_by_id endpoint for resources. Using that would look something like: curl -H "X-ArchivesSpace-Session: $SESSION" -G http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects --data-urlencode 'component_id[]=YLTAD111/51/37' If you do find a solution, would you mind sharing it with the listserv or me? I wrote the API cURL and Python examples for that endpoint and I couldn't find anyone using ARKs to build an example from. Adding that would be the last piece of the puzzle for that documentation.

What I really want is to be able to find archival objects by ARK, but I tried the other types of IDs to see if they would work and tell me something useful. But I can't get any of them to work. We're on version 3.2.0. I have a program that establishes a connection and gets a session ID, then sends off the API call. When the same program sends this search API, it works: http://ourhost.com:8089/search?q=component_id:"YLTAD111/51/37<http://ourhost.com:8089/search?q=component_id:%22YLTAD111/51/37>" OR component_id:"YLTAD111/51/38" OR component_id:"YLTAD111/51/39"&page=1 Here's what I have tried: http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark=https://ourhost.com/ark:/9999/119460 http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark=ark:/9999/119460 http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark=119460 http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark[]=ark:/9999/119460<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark%5b%5d=ark:/9999/119460> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark[]=119460<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ark%5b%5d=119460> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111/51/37<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111/51/37> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111%2F51%2F37<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111%2F51%2F37> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]='YLTAD111%2F51%2F37<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d='YLTAD111%2F51%2F37>' http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]='YLTAD111<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d='YLTAD111>' http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=YLTAD111;resolve[]=archival_objects<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=YLTAD111;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS%2015856;resolve[]=archival_objects<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS%2015856;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS> 15856;resolve[]=archival_objects http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS_15856;resolve[]=archival_objects<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS_15856;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS10840-1.1.1;resolve[]=archival_objects<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS10840-1.1.1;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS10840-1.1.1;resolve[]=archival_objects<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS10840-1.1.1;resolve%5b%5d=archival_objects> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id[]=MS10840-1.1.1<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/3/find_by_id/archival_objects?component_id%5b%5d=MS10840-1.1.1> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id[]=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874<http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id%5b%5d=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874> http://ourhost.com:8089/repositories/5/find_by_id/archival_objects?ref_id=15a419a9464353be174f77bdc8f38874 Every single call returned a 404 error. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'll feel stupid if it's obvious, but I'll still be thankful. Thanks so much!
