I am trying to download (backup) images that customers upload for products that take custom logos (these are typically JPG, PNG, PDF, etc.) These customer files are downloadable by clicking on a hyperlink in the BigCommerce admin page for the order in question. The link is not a link to the image path but instead, a link to a service that sends the file to the browser. In other words, you have to be authenticated into the admin site to download the file. The URL looks like this:
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/383945/products/251438/attributes/561518/download
https://mystore.com/internalapi/v1/orders/{order id}/products/{lineItem id}/attributes/{option id}/download
These are easily constructed in the API itself for a given order. If I use the link in a browser tab while I'm logged into the admin site, the file downloads.
But what I am trying to write an app to automatically download all the files (there are thousands). When I try to use this URL in an app, I get a authentication error. I tried at first using my regular API credentials but then used the credentials to log into the admin site. Both give me an authentication error.
I could not find anything documented on this so-called "internalapi." Anyone ever try to use this "internal" API that is used by the admin site?
I believe authentication is cookie based for that internal API, but there could be problems with using our non-publicly documented internal APIs in production, i.e. we may make future updates that would be breaking changes.
Images attached to orders through a file upload option also get copied to WebDAV, in the dav/product_images/configured_products folder. Another way to do this could be to use a WebDAV client library like easywebdav to connect and download the files.

I'm currently working on an application that interacts with OneDrive. I've read RESTful API manual and the only option available is to share document.
My questions are:
Is there any way to remove or regenerate file sharing link?
Is there any way to specify user emails to give an access to them?
Is there any way to control this UI option "Recipients need to sign in with Microsoft Account"?
The sharing links that are created do not expire. If you create a sharing link for a file that already shared, a HTTP 200 code will be returned. At this time, createLink is only available but the user can remove the sharing permission from the OneDrive website. Specific user access isn't currently supported. Like the OneDrive website, any created link will not require sign-in. I hope that helps.
The only way to regenerate link to a file is to:
Copy file "foo.docx" to "(Copy) foo.docx"
Remove file "foo.docx"
Rename "(Copy) foo.docx" to "foo.docx"
Generate link for "foo.docx"
There is no way to specify emails for document access
There is no way to control this UI option "Recipients need to sign in with Microsoft Account"
I would like to use the Chooser drop-in to select a file from dropbox and then synchronize my app with that file occasionally in the background.
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/dropins/chooser/js
A scenario would be:
List item
User selects file.
File uploads to my app.
User returns to my app a few days later after modifying the file in dropbox.
My app should synchronize and pull down that particular file (without again displaying the Chooser drop-in).
The problem is that the Chooser provides an expiring link to the file:
"direct" is an expiring link to download the contents of the file
I can use the Core API exclusively which would work, however I would have to build my own UI to browse the user's dropbox directory. Ideally, I'd prefer to not introduce the world to another file browser; Dropbox has a file browser - and people are familiar with it. Is this possible?
Thanks,
You can just get a preview link and convert it. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/53/programmatically-download-content-from-share-links.
I have a requirement where I want HTML FTP to be accessed by AD users. When users prompted to supply their AD credentials, the IIS/FTP should mapped them directly to their folders. What I want is, an HTML "Form" page/website when its accessed from internal/external it will prompt and users will supply AD credentials. Based on the permission set on the folders users will access only their folder and will upload to their folder only. The Upload as a Browse Button which will allow them to upload specified documents to their folder only. So, When they log into their computer at work they will be able to see what has been uploaded and will be able to open that document directly.
This is actually for Part Time Lectures, currently all the shared we have on a Windows 2008 R2 and permission set based on AD.
Is this doable via HTML or any other code or FTP itself. Even third party software which will be fine too.
It might be worth taking a look at plupload - depending on your usage, you might need to pay licensing: http://www.plupload.com
I have a django template which contains a link to a file stored on amazon s3. This template is an email to be sent automatically from the system. I want this link to be password protected. on clicking this link, the file on s3 in opened in browser without any authentication. I want the user to first log in to my django website and then the file is opened in the website.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Ammara
You would need to have the link in the email use a URL that goes to a view in your site, setup auth normally there, then have the s3 link available from some landing page behind auth on your site.
Just FYI tho: This is a really bad idea if any level of actual security is needed.
Is there a client or plugin that allows me to put a frame/upload field on my web site that will let my users upload files to my ftp server without an ftp client software of their own? Preferrably one where I can pre-configure the ftp username/password automatically (from data I have stored about the logged-in user)?
In a digital signage solution we let users upload video files to their account, and currently have the solution of uploading via ftp (the file is then renamed and moved, users can NOT use this feature to share video files. Furthermore it is solely about videos they themselves made, no license breakage. Just as a disclaimer =)
try third-party software like uploadify, or a service like http://www.net2ftp.com/ which can be somewhat integrated with php.
