I am trying to display folder and file list from a Sharepoint in my CakePHP web application.
Please review my previous question here.
What I am going to do is to get children from a folder with id and also inner folder with name, in the same time, using Graph API.
I want to get list from an api like
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/items/{item-id}/children
I am not sure if it is available and how to implement it.
At this moment, I can get children from a folder with its name.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/children
And I can filter the response using query parameters like below.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/children/?$filter=id eq '{folder-id}'
Can I get sub folder's children at this moment?
Any help?
There is no such method. As #Shiva said, their properties are the same. You cannot use the folder name and folder ID at the same time. You can try the api provided by Shiva. I think it is a good method:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/{folder-name}?$expand=children

I'm working on an API and i want to get Files and Folders of a specific teams' channel. I've tried with Graph Explorer but could not find anything resource. I have also tried the official documentation Microsoft Graph API.
I have tried the following API in explorer but it does not give the desired results.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{teamId}/channels/{channelId}/filesFolder
It is highly possible that i might have overlooked the my required resource but can someone help me out in it. Thanks
You are using the correct endpoint
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{team_id}/channels/{channel_id}/filesFolder
returns metadata about driveItem.
Use parentReference.driveId and id in the next API call to get folders and files
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive_id}/items/{id}/children
It returns a collection of driveItems with unique id.
If driveItem represents a file then file property is not null.
For each item that represents the file you can call
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive_id}/items/{item_id}
to get more details about the file.
If driveItem represents a folder then folder property is not null.
For each item that represents the folder you can call
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive_id}/items/{item_id}
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive_id}/items/{item_id}/children
to get more details about the folder or to get items inside the folder.
I need to get a list of all publicly-visible Quip documents in my company using the Quip API. I have a service worker account that will make the API calls.
My question: how do I find the root folder to start from?
Quip's API docs tell you how to get info about one or more folders using Get Folders by passing in the folder ids. You can call this again for nested folders, and you can call Get Threads to get information about each document. (Quip uses the terminology "threads," not "documents.")
But where do I start? I need a root folder to start recursing from, right.
Here's what I've tried:
The Get Folders docs say "To find your desktop or archive folder ID, see Get Authenticated User." I've tried that but it returns folders called Desktop, Archive, Starred, Private, Shared, and Group.
Desktop seemed like a good place to start but its only child is Archive, and...
Archive only contains a couple dozen docs. The meaning of the Archive folder is not documented.
Starred is docs you've favorited.
Private is your private docs.
Shared is docs that have been shared with you.
Group seemed promising because the Folders UI at quip.com/browse shows the word "Group Folders" at the top. But my account's Group Folder list is empty.
A bit late to this, but since the QUIP API is poorly maintained and not well documented, for those looking to solve the same problem, here is one way:
Step 1: Add your company's root folder to your favorite (Starred folder), and drag it to the top of the favorite list.
Step 2: Get you authenticated instance:
quip_client = quip.QuipClient(access_token=login_token)
user = quip_client.get_authenticated_user()
print (user)
You will retrieve a json result with basic information like name, id... and most importantly the starred_folder_id for the user.
Step 3: Pass the starred_folder_id to the get_folder method:
print (quip_client.get_folder("starred_folder_id"))
You will receive yet another json with a key named as children which contains values of your starred folders/files in the order it appears on your quip app. The first folder_id will be your company folder id.
You can now use the folder_id to retrieve the rest of your company documents by more get_folder.
I have an app which integrates with dropbox, I want the user to select a folder from their dropbox.
I can call '/2/files/list_folder' (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder) with recursive set to true, and then recursively call it based on the returned cursor. I then filter out any which aren't directories.
But this is a long slow process, and unpredictable given the potential size of some users directory tree on Dropbox.
I know there is a dropbox file select plug in (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser), but I want to make a folder select, with no option to select a file.
What I would like is one api call that returns a list of all directories for a user.
Does this exist with an API method I don't know about? Or is there another widget that allows folder selection?
I've seen this question which just does a recursive api call too, not practically efficient.
The Dropbox API v2 doesn't offer a way to list only folders like that, but we'll consider it a feature request.
Dropbox also doesn't offer a component like the Chooser that allows folder selection, but we'll consider that a feature request as well.
I'm trying to get the "multiple tables" example from https://github.com/vedmack/yadcf working and i cant seem to get it to work.
Was wondering if anyone could post a zip file of a working example that i could just tweak.
I have a specific outcome i'm trying to test for with multiple tables where the second table gets filtered by the contents of the first table.
example: http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/dom_multi_columns_tables_1.10.html
You can grab all the needed files from the yadcf-showcase repo' , here is the link to the zip of the showcase , and this is the relevant html , here its in action in the showcase
you can grab the war folder and place it into your \Public folder of the DropBox and access it via the "Copy public link* that way there will be no need in web server.
I'm trying to work with the new summer release of the Office 365 API tool for Visual Studio 2013 (update 3). It works fine except one problem I've encountered which can be called also a missing functionality.
I found no reasonable way to retrieve the direct children of the root folder from my One Drive for business Document Library using the newly added SharePointClient library.
The API call of SharePointClient.Files will retrieve all the files and folders from the whole document library including sub-folders. So in order to get only the direct children I have to page through all the documents and folders and analyze their URL. This is not acceptable for my application scenario. For a sub-folder I can get the direct children like this: SharePointClient.Files["<folder_id>"].ToFolder().Children This is what I need but it can't be applied to the root folder.
I've tried to use the REST API directly and similarly the request GET ../_api/files will retrieve all files and folders in the default document library and I found no simple way to list only the direct children of the root. Also there is no convenient way to get the path or GUID of the default document library which the SharePointClient.Files automatically uses.
Parsing the result XMLs of the REST API calls I may get the GUID of the default document library, that will let me use a different REST API to list files and folders separately for the root folder, but these calls results in a different XML schema from that used by SharePointClient. This means that to get only the direct children of the root I would have to re-implement the whole SharePointClient library.
If anybody has some good advice I'll be very thankful.
I just ran into the same issue - hopefully this will be remedied before the release version of the api tools. Here is what I've done to get only the root folder content:
[Create your spClient = SharePointClient]
var allFiles = await spClient.Files.ExecuteAsync();
var rootFiles = allFiles.CurrentPage.Where(i => !i.Id.Contains("/"));
You lose the IPagedCollection wrapper and you may need to get more than the 'CurrentPage' to see all files but this is the best workaround I've found. I'm then able to you the 'ToFolder()' method you mentioned above to list content of sub-folders.
