Getting Started

To use APTrust basic features, you'll need the following:
  • AWS keys. These let you access your receiving bucket, into which you'll upload new bags for ingest, and your restoration bucket, from which you'll download restored bags. Each member has two sets of keys: one for the demo environment, and one for the production environment. You can request AWS keys from support@aptrust.org
  • Tools for accessing S3 buckets. Amazon maintains client libraries in commonly-used languages to help you access S3 through the language of your choice. APTrust maintains a set of partner tools for uploading to, downloading from, and listing the contents of your S3 buckets.
  • A login for our Web UI. If your organization already has access to our web interfaces at http://test.aptrust.org/ and https://repository.aptrust.org, then you have a local APTrust administrator who can set up an account for you. If no one in your organization has credentials to these sites, contact support@aptrust.org to get set up.
  • An API key. You'll need this only if you plan on accessing our member API. Contact support@aptrust.org for an API key, and note that you'll need separate keys for the demo and production systems.
