You can create a valid manifest file in the following ways:
To use the NBIA Data Retriever, you must already have a manifest file that lists the files you want to download. You create the manifest file by searching the radiology portal of The Cancer Imaging Archive. After installing the NBIA Data Retriever, double-click this manifest file to invoke the application.
Double-clicking the NBIA Data Retriever icon alone does not invoke the NBIA Data Retriever. |
To create a manifest file:
Refer to the Manifest Text API documentation for instructions on how to use the API. The outcome of the REST API call must be saved as a text file with the extension .tcia.
Example Manifest Text Query
curl -H "Authorization:Bearer d98c390f-b53d-4456-beb3-110e63663762" -k "https://services.cancerimagingarchive.net/nbia-api/services/getManifestTextV2" -d "list=1.3.6.1.4.1.9328.50.3.336&includeAnnotation=false" |
The API returns text that can be used as a manifest file for the NBIA Data Retriever.
