	<section><h1>4. Repositories</h1>

<p>Let&rsquo;s create our <strong>create_repo</strong> function.</p>

<p>Similar to our <em>login()</em> we need to create a data package,
a request object and with &ldquo;urlopen&rdquo; send our request so we can
get a response.</p>

<pre><code class="language-python">    def create_repo(api_url, auth_token, name, repo_code, org_code = '', image_url = '', url = ''):
        '''This function sends a create request to the ArchivesSpace REST API'''
        data = json.JSONEncoder().encode({
                        'jsonmodel_type': 'repository',
                        'name': name,
                        'repo_code': repo_code,
                        'org_code': org_code,
                        'image_url': image_url,
                        'url': url
                    }).encode('utf-8')
        req = urllib.request.Request(
                url = api_url+'/repositories',
                data = None,
                headers = {'X-ArchivesSpace-Session': auth_token})
        try:
            response = urllib.request.urlopen(req, data)
        except HTTPError as e:
            print(e.code)
            print(e.read())
            return &quot;&quot;
        except URLError as e:
            print(e.reason())
            return &quot;&quot;
        src = response.read().decode('utf-8')
        return json.JSONDecoder().decode(src)
