Bulk Download Instructions

To perform a bulk export of data, you will need to send the files from the INCLUDE Data Hub to a CAVATICA project using the Data Exploration - Data Files Tab.

Once your files are in a CAVATICA project, the recommended course for downloading is to use the Seven Bridges Command Line Interface to download the files.

Bulk Download of Files Using the CAVATICA API

1. Install the Seven Bridges Command Line Interface

Open your terminal application, then execute the following:

curl <https://igor.sbgenomics.com/downloads/sb/install.sh> -sSf | sudo sh

2. Get your Authentication Token

Go to CAVATICA. After logging in, click the Developer tab at the top of the page and then click Authentication Token in the drop down. On the page, click on Auth Token. Your authentication token is on this page.

3. Configure the Seven Bridges Command Line Interface

In your terminal application, execute:

sb configure

The interface will ask for the Authentication Token you found in the previous step and the API endpoint.
The API Endpoint is: https://cavatica-api.sbgenomics.com/v2

4. Generate a list of files you want to download

In your terminal application, execute:

sb files list --project your-username/project-name > filelist.txt

In your terminal application, execute:

cat filelist.txt | cut -d "'" -f 2 | xargs -I % sb download --file %

Your files will begin downloading now.
